Kelly Clarkson's Love Life: 'Dating in the Spotlight is a Dumpster Fire'
SCANDALOUS SECRETS AND SINGULARLY SOUR DATING SCHEMES: KELLY CLARKSON'S GRITTY REALITY REVEALED
In a shocking revelation that's left fans gagging, Kelly Clarkson spilled the tea on her tumultuous search for love - and it's a dumpster fire! The 43-year-old pop sensation, known for her powerhouse vocals and sassy wit, has been open about her struggles with dating in the spotlight.
During her recent Studio Sessions residency at the Colosseum at Las Vegas' Caesars Palace, Clarkson took to the stage alongside her 11-year-old daughter River Rose, sharing a candid confession that left the audience reeling. "Dating can be very difficult," she admitted, "which is why I don't." And when asked what makes it so challenging, Kelly compared the experience to a "dumpster fire" under the harsh glare of the spotlight.
Fans were quick to relate to her sentiments, with many chiming in on social media to express solidarity. One devoted fan wrote, "I hear ya darlin'!" while another quipped, "I don't need a man. I need my margarita and my cheese!"
So, what's behind Kelly's decision to stay away from the dating scene? It all boils down to her messy divorce from former manager Brandon Blackstock in 2020. The couple, who were married for seven years, had two children together before calling it quits. However, their split was far from amicable, with a lengthy court battle over finances, property, and child custody leaving everyone involved reeling.
In the end, Kelly emerged victorious, winning full primary custody of her kids and making the bold move to relocate to New York City. But even with her newfound freedom, the Grammy winner confessed that she's still haunted by the ghosts of her past. "I knew I needed a fresh start," she told USA Today in 2023, "and couldn't be in L.A. I really wanted to be in Montana, but you can't really do a show from there quite yet. So I was like, 'The only other option would probably be New York'."
As Kelly navigates the ups and downs of her post-divorce life, she's found solace in her work - and her new collaboration with Wayfair! The singer has launched a line of home decor inspired by her own stage setup, complete with replicas of the rug she uses during her Studio Sessions shows. And when she's not rocking out on stage or designing interiors, Kelly can be found giving back to her community.
Next month, she'll join forces with fellow country music stars Miranda Lambert, Lyle Lovett, Cody Johnson, and more for a fundraising concert in Austin, Texas, benefiting flood victims. With her heart full of gratitude and her spirit unbroken, Kelly Clarkson is ready to take on the world - one stage at a time.
