Kelly Clarkson sparks fan fears as she returns to | TV Shows

Singer Kelly Clarkson has celebrated a huge career milestone – but it has been overshadowed by fan concerns.

The 42-year-old American Idol winner made an emotional admission while celebrating the 1,000th episode of The Kelly Clarkson Show after going missing for 10 shows due to a “private matter.”

“Welcome to the Kelly Clarkson Show and our 1,000th episode,” she exclaimed, adding, “I can’t believe today marks the 1,000th. It’s crazy.”

She continued, “We have met some hugely talented people, tons of big stars and inspiring everyday heroes.”

Kelly went on to rave about how she, her team, and her fans have “created a community and supported each other through a lot of ups and downs.”

During the taping, the Grammy-winning singer reflected on her journey since debuting her show on NBC in September 2019. 

While she did not address her recent 10-day absence, she vaguely mentioned having gone through “a lot of ups and downs” in the past during a heartfelt speech.

“For 1,000 episodes, we have laughed together, we have cried together with beautiful stories, sang together with some people, danced together, celebrated and competed together,” she said about the emotional moments. 

She went on to admit, “I’ve lost, alone, a lot,” not clarifying what she meant by this five-word comment. 

The cryptic comment prompted fans to take to social media to express their concerns for the Stronger singer.

One user tweeted @Grupo_P_Europeo, “Why was she absent?” as @@iiz2c added, “Oh, she knows what’s up.”

A third person @PhilipFrye666 defended the star fuming, “Tabloid nonsense taking things out of context as usual and she was referring to her past.”

Meanwhile, others raved about her rendition of I Have Nothing by Whitney Houston. One person @Brent9716 commented, “Wow! Goosebumps.”

Another user, @EthanJWhitlock2, went as far as to say, “She is the greatest vocalist since Whitney Houston,” with @kywolf98 echoing, “Oh my God. There have been some pretty spectacular performances. But this one, this one actually gave me goosebumps. The only other artist to do that for me is Ann Wilson. And of course, getting to see Jaco up close was an added bonus. Bravo!!!!”
