KELLY CLARKSONI’ve never been more nervous in my life than singing the national anthem at the Super Bowl.
KELLY CLARKSONLife’s too short to be a pushover.
KELLY CLARKSONPick the weeds and keep the flowers.
KELLY CLARKSONMy mom and I are like sisters. We kind of grew up together. She always treated me as an adult. I never had curfew. She’s a workaholic, like I am. We’re not super family-oriented people, you know?
KELLY CLARKSONI’ve just never cared what people think. It’s more if I’m happy and I’m confident and feeling good, that’s always been my thing.
KELLY CLARKSONI sound like such a tool, but becoming a mother has made me next-level confident. I’ve never felt more empowered.
KELLY CLARKSONI’m very friendly or whatever, but I would hardly say that I’m that cookie-cutter. I don’t live in L.A. or New York. I live in Texas, and I go to hole-in-the-wall bars, so there’s no paparazzi there.

KELLY CLARKSONBooks have always been important to me – my mom was a first grade teacher, so I grew up reading all the time.
KELLY CLARKSONI try not to date musicians. It’s all I’ve dated. Every guy I’ve dated is a musician. Obviously, it’s not working.
KELLY CLARKSONConfidence is seen, not heard.
KELLY CLARKSONNo matter what size I am I love performing no matter how big or little I am! I feel good.
KELLY CLARKSONI’ve loved my 20s, but I would never repeat them.
