Kelly Clarkson is breaking down her weight loss journey piece by piece.
During her Chemistry: An Intimate Evening with Kelly Clarkson Las Vegas residency, the “Breakaway” singer poked fun at her wardrobe evolution amid her recent body transformation. In a Jan. 2 TikTok, an audience member asks Clarkson to take a shot with them, prompting the Grammy winner to explain why that might be a bit difficult.
“Oh, boy. I really can’t bend in these,” Clarkson quipped, stretching over the gap between the stage and the audience to grab a single-shot bottle of what the fan confirmed as vodka in a semi-sheer black curve-hugging jumpsuit. “Dude, this is tight. Like, I lost weight and they’re like, ‘Let’s get you into this tight s–t.’”
Clarkson eventually did take the shot, quoting the iconic “I’m a cool mom” Mean Girls quote once the fan confirmed that the shot was in celebration of their 22nd birthday. After initially saying the alcohol smelt like “electric glue,” Clarkson eventually conceded, “Well, that tastes pretty good!”
The “Since U Been Gone” singer recently opened up about her weight loss journey in a Jan. 3 interview with People. “Walking in the city is quite the workout, and I’m really into infrared saunas right now. I just got a cold plunge because everybody wore me down,” she revealed. “I eat a healthy mix. I dropped weight because I’ve been listening to my doctor — a couple years I didn’t. And 90 percent of the time I’m really good at it because a protein diet is good for me anyway. I’m a Texas girl, so I like meat — sorry, vegetarians in the world!”
Next month (Feb. 4), Clarkson is headed to the Grammys with a best pop vocal album nomination for Chemistry — her tenth studio album and ninth Billboard 200 top 10 entry. On the Billboard Hot 100, the powerhouse vocalist has collected 11 top 10 hits, including the chart-toppers “Stronger” (three weeks), “My Life Would Suck Without You” (two weeks) and “A Moment Like This” (two weeks).
