Kelly Clarkson made an NSFW admission while kicking off her Las Vegas residency Friday.
The “Because of You” singer, 41, was talking to her audience onstage at Planet Hollywood’s Bakkt Theater when she spotted a female fan’s sign that read, “My girlfriend gave me a hall pass for you.”
“If I was into chicks, I’d take up the offer,” Clarkson quipped in response.
“I just unfortunately like d—ks.”
The crowd erupted with cheers, applause and laughter, according to a video shared by one concertgoer.
Hundreds of people took to social media to joke about the racy moment after the show.
“Kelly and I have *soo much* in common,” one fan tweeted, while another joked, “Kelly, I’m sure we can work out a mutually satisfying situation.”
A third person chimed in, “hahaha popstars, they’re just like us! I am loving the fact that Kelly Clarkson in her 40s is more unfiltered than ever congrats on the successful residency.”
The “Chemistry: An Intimate Evening with Kelly Clarkson” residency, which accompanies her scathing breakup album of the same name, comes three years after the “American Idol” Season 1 winner filed for divorce from her now-ex-husband, Brandon Blackstock.
Some of the tracks on Clarkson’s new album were so blistering that she had to warn Blackstock, 46, about them prior to its release last month.
“I don’t even remember why or how it happened, but I was like, ‘Hey, I didn’t just diminish us down to one [thing],’” she explained during an interview on the “Today” show.
“‘You know what I’m saying? It’s all in there, the ride. The beauty is in there, as well. Now there’s a lot of pain, but that’s what happens for all of us.’”
While Clarkson noted that her ex probably would not listen to the biting album, she did hold back a little for the sake of their two kids.
“It’s very personal. And I’ve always released personal music — I think I’m that kind of writer in general, everybody knows that,” she said.
“I think when you have kids … you kind of debate, ‘What am I going to do here?’ So I was very selective about the songs I picked for the album.”
Clarkson separated from the talent manager in June 2020 after seven years of marriage.
The former couple — who share daughter River Rose, 9, and son Remington Alexander, 7 — settled their divorce in March 2022 after two years of court battles.
