Kelly Clarkson has defended the comments she made about the NFL coverage of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s romance. Clarkson, 42, rose to fame after winning the first season of American Idol in 2002 and has since had a successful singing career with hits like ‘Because of You’ and ‘Stronger.’ She now hosts The Kelly Clarkson Show, which offers ‘heartwarming stories, live musical performances, games, and surprises.’ Following one episode of her eponymous talk show, Clarkson faced a ton of backlash after she commented on the NFL’s coverage of Swift.
