Kelly Clarkson's new look is so, so gay — and of course lesbians are spiraling
Kelly Clarkson's got a new hairdo and a spiffy new outfit to match, and lesbians are already going absolutely feral for the pics. The look was debuted in an Instagram promo video for the upcoming season of The Voice, where Clarkson will be returning as a judge after last working on the show in season 23. There's something about a new format, bringing back old winners to coach — blah, blah, blah. Honestly, any self-respecting queer woman stopped paying attention the moment Clarkson turned around in that chair. Between that new delectably messy haircut, a button up, and an unfastened bow tie around her neck, she looks like she could be body doubling for Brandi Carlile in a new music video and it is hitting all the right vibes. Let's go ahead and be clear about one thing. Clarkson has outright stated on more than one occasion that she's straight. And it's not our place to argue with people about their sexualities! But she is not remotely shy about catering to the lesbian gaze and we absolutely love her for it every time. Because Clarkson knows what she's doing. She embraces it. She embraces us. The American Idol alum is more than happy sing sapphic song after saphic song on her show. And while it's one thing to pull out music from Chappell Roan — arguably the biggest rising star in pop last year — it takes a whole other level of confidence to bust out some freaking t.A.T.u. in the year 2025. And even if/when Clarkson isn't baiting the lesbians on purpose, she doesn't act anything other than flattered when we're all lining up to smile stupidly at her all the same. That in and of itself basically earns her an army of queers ready to kneel and pledge allegiance to her in exchange for a single wink. So when she drops a look like the one she's got on in The Voice promo, well, you can imagine how sapphics on the internet have been reacting. "Okayyy Kelly Clarkson. I feel like this look will be a hit with the lesbians haha" "she's gonna show up with a 26 year old butch any time now I can FEEL it" "Respect to her. Whether that's her gig or not she knew she had to restore the balance that was greatly disturbed by tradwife jojo siwa" "i have been saying for a long time that i feel a kelly clarkson wlw arc is in our future. we're getting closer…" "i'd let kelly clarkson kick me in the throat as many times as she wanted to send tweet" This article originally appeared on Pride: Kelly Clarkson's new look is so, so gay — and of course lesbians are spiraling RELATED 36 times Kelly Clarkson has covered songs by Sapphic musicians on her show Kelly Clarkson explains the wink driving lesbians wild and says she'd go for an 'older woman' 'I like my girls a little bit older': Kelly Clarkson cover leaves Sapphics swooning

Kelly Clarkson Debuts a Short Bob Haircut
Kelly Clarkson is marking a new era with not only a return to The Voice, but with a new – and much shorter—hairstyle, too. One could say she's breaking away from the longer locks. In a recent social media video revealing that the singer is rejoining as a coach on The Voice alongside Adam Levine and John Legend, she also unveiled a fresh bob haircut. "Three Coaches, one incredible season. Adam Levine, John Legend and Kelly Clarkson go head-to-head in our Battle of Champions Spring 2026. 🏆," the Instagram caption read. With a turn of the big red chair, gone are Kelly's waist-skimming honey blonde locks and instead, she's sporting a textured, chin-length bob haircut, styled in soft waves and a deep side parting for extra volume and lift. For context and to really gauge how dramatic this transformation really is, here's a look at Kelly's hair before: Aaaand after: Shocking, much?! Now, with that all said, we must speculate that this short hairstyle may be the result of either a wig or a very clever hair trick. After all, we've seen this be the case with many celebrity hair transformations as of late—Nicole Kidman, Rita Ora and Julia Roberts, I'm looking @ you. Alas, friend of faux (the bob in question, that is), there's no denying that Kelly can catch my breath with just about any look. Let's give it up for a moment like this... OK, I'll stop.

Kelly Clarkson 2.0! Singer unveils bold new look as she announces return to The Voice
Introducing a brand new Kelly Clarkson. The American Idol winner unveiled a brand new haircut as she announced her return to season 29 of The Voice. In a teaser posted to Instagram for The Voice: Battle of Champions, Clarkson revealed she had chopped off inches from her long, chest-length hair. Her tresses, which previously approached her torso, were now dramatically cut just above her shoulders. The fun look definitely suited the bubbly Kelly, who styled her hair in a side-swept 'do with waves as she returned to the judges chair. Kelly, who also has a Vegas residency, has returned for season 29 to battle it out against two other Voice icons - fellow coaches John Legend and Adam Levine. 'But this time we've got some tricks up our sleeve, y'all get ready!' Kelly promised in the teaser as her chair swiveled to the camera. Fans were delighted to see the songstress would be returning to the show after departing The Voice following season 23. In addition to that particular season, she also coached seasons 14-21. Season 29 will return next spring. 'Kelly being back is everything!' one commented on the teaser, a sentiment numerous others shared. 'Kelly is back... now we all go back to watching it!' another wrote. 'Yay. Kelly. So happy. I'll watch just for her,' another wrote. One fan gushed that Kelly was 'lookin' fiiine.' Kelly's return to the show - and new haircut - comes after she underwent another major transformation. In recent years, the songstress has dropped an astounding 60 pounds - and last year she admitted she used a prescription medication to aid in her weight loss, which also included exercise and healthier eating. While interviewing Whoopi Goldberg on her talk show, the Fort Worth, Texas-born star revealed that doctors prescribed her with a weight loss medication after a blood test. She insisted she didn't use Ozempic, but did not reveal which drug she used instead. 'Mine is a different one than people assume, but I ended up having to do that too,' the A Moment Like This songstress told the EGOT winner. 'Everybody thinks it's Ozempic, it's not - it's something else.' She reportedly lost 60 pounds, according to Extra TV, although Kelly has not revealed the exact amount herself. The popstar, who shares daughter River Rose, 11, and son Remington Alexander, nine, with ex-husband Brandon Blackstock, said that her physician insisted she take the medication after repeated efforts to get her on it. 'My doctor chased me for like two years,' she said. 'And I was like, "No, I'm afraid of it. I already have thyroid problems, I was afraid."' Kelly said the medication she takes is 'something that aids in helping break down the sugar,' as her 'body doesn't do it right.' The hitmaker, presumably speaking about how she didn't notice that she had progressively gained weight, said that she was taken aback when watching herself on camera at one point and seeing her drastic transformation. She added: 'Seeing yourself, I didn't see it... all of a sudden, I was like "Who the f*** is that?"' At the time, Kelly reiterated that she had not been paying attention to her weight for some time. 'It's a weird thing ... I never saw that, I was never insecure about it - I just did not see that,' Kelly said, adding that at her heaviest, she weighed 203 pounds standing at 5-foot-3. Kelly said she was not miserable or depressed at the time, even though in hindsight, she felt she looked like she was 'about to die of a heart attack.'
