Kelly's such a natural. I love her so much. Also, Penn's fave being "Love So Soft" is so unexpected and wonderful. ;-)

[@agustin1027]

But also makes sense in a way haha

[@KurtisLeeLewis]

Makes me love him even more ❤

[@CAZZ_JAZZ]

​❤❤❤🎉

[@rydbthatsme]

Lighthouse deserves a grammy along with the entire album! Kelly really brought it on this record!

[@roksana3396]

She is so real and smart. She has such a beautiful soul that it's hard to put into words. And her new album totally deserves a Grammy.

[@Nikkitty09]

I will die on the hill of LOVING the ridiculously cheesy "From Justin to Kelly" movie. I made my mom take me to the theater to see it and everything. Love Kelly and so glad to have this episode!

[@nataliebowerman5594]

My fav Kelly Clarkson song is a touch depressing, but it’s “Because of You”. I had a difficult relationship with my dad, and that song meant a lot to me. And the astonishing part of the healing power of music is that my dad heard it on the radio once and was totally into it, too. ❤️

[@Toematetoe95]

I love how sarcastic penn can be with kelly as a guest. she’s such a light and I love that she’s so involved in everyone’s topic/question

[@daniellogan3085]

Shut the door!!! She's 41?! Wow! She is so wonderful.

[@dmoy2371]

I love everything about Kelly Clarkson!!! And Chemistry is EXCELLENT!!! Should definitely be up for many Grammy Awards!!!!!

[@mehvishkhan]

I love Kelly! She's so honest and authentic and talented in so many ways. Also I've spent way too many years in cubicle land and dream of quitting so I can write novels full-time. It's very impressive she pursued her dreams so young.

[@jplogan70]

She’s so real. It’s refreshing. She’s amazing. And I admire her more than ever.

[@omelette429]

I need more Penn & Kelly content

[@saramichele7366]

Kelly is lovely! Such a bright, kind, humble, and wholesome person! Love her! She's also one of the best singers ever.

[@snarkycharlies]

Kelly Clarkson had a killer hidden track too - "Chivas." So good! Her new album is absolutely killer. It's in heavy rotation on my playlist right now...the whole album.

[@JameBulalay]

Kelly without make up is awesome ❤ she's pretty inside and out 💯

[@romeosbrother2386]

Imma say it again Kelly is the reason why I started singing.

[@patchoulii]

21:47 "forever an optimist .. or delusional" hahahaha!!

[@ArsenalBowler]

Kelly is one of my all-time favourite artists and human beings and this unexpected collab drops on my birthday! Awesome stuff 💙

[@podcrushedpodcast]

Happy birthday

[@ChanningWearsSunscreen]

I feel we're all Kelly Clarkson as she is one of us

[@debdixon74]

Love this interview. It’s a breath of fresh air to hear Kelly talk about things I’ve never heard from her.

[@KurtisLeeLewis]

Fave Kelly songs. "Merry Christmas to the one I used to know". "Mine". "I don't think about you". "Einstein". "Anytime". "The trouble with love is". "Because of you". "Beautiful disaster". "Piece by piece". ❤

[@elizabethbelcaster5666]

"It's Complicated" is the movie is the semi reality of how complicated (realistically) relationship landscapes can be.

[@barbarabrown5709]

Kelly please make a bunch of albums just go crazy

[@wolfmare50]

Just had a “knowing”. Grew up in Jersey, the city, and Broadway, were mine. I WILL be there, on the Broadway strip, for Kelly. Because she is just worth it. 🥰

[@bbbfffds8]

Love So Soft and Magic are such good unexpected choices omg!!!

[@patriciawalker5208]

She's such a North Texas girl! She's had my heart since her AI audition. Her singing Surrender when she had strep was amazing and burned into my memory.

Enjoyed the wonderful CHARISMA that Kelly Clarkson naturally has.. a breath of fresh air, she brought some levity to this podcast.

[@Daisy-sl6qj]

Kelly's mode is so damn refreshing💕💕💕💕

[@kendrabryant4738]

Yes! As a kid from a small town in the south, we got very bored & got into things we shouldn’t have 🤦🏼‍♀️😂 love this interview & love Kelly Clarkson❤ Chemistry is a great album!!

[@racieone7120]

I have been listening to the new album, and I can so relate, especially Lighthouse and My Mistake. I am going through the separation, into divorce...this hits home so much!! Beautiful!

[@tatianamendoza8800]

Lighthouse is my favorite. All your songs really got me through so much hurt. I appreciate all your hard work. I made it through life without my dad because of you and a divorce. You matter so much to me, Kelly. Chemistry album made me ugly cry (not Rachel McAdams cry😂), but I felt every pain and joy in every song. It's magic. Love you, Kelly.

[@ricisonline]

fave kelly song is sober. but i can go on and add never again, can i have a kiss, addicted, hate myself for losing you, whole lotta woman and the new angry icon: red flag collector! she's amazing!

[@cynthiaosiemi4802]

I hate myself for losing you!! I've never heard anyone mention this. It's such a cool song

[@ayysweetstea9339]

Soo Interesting hearing from this great talent that is Kelly Clarkson. Love her! 💥💥💥

[@giovannam7]

This was an excellent talk! I love Kelly and I’m a huge fan of her music, talent, musicianship and ability to be so unapologetically real. I’ve never heard of this podcast before but I really like how you 3 kept this chat at the same level of honesty and loved the discussion of the evolution of life, looking back to the child. Hearing Kelly process everything she went through with her music career and the fire and the divorce and her children, was all so beautifully done. Great job with all your questions and on an excellent show! ❤👏🏼👏🏼

[@podcrushedpodcast]

This was so kind, thank you!

[@rozzykronfeld-wilbanks8759]

I didn’t know that much about Kelly, until I saw clips of her Talk show on KZbin. I absolutely love her. She is so honest and cool‼️Thanks for this interview 🥰🎧🥰

[@RedHeadThriller10]

I think that one girl that posted before me she said something about because of you and that's the only one song and I think the one she played about her dad in the later song on American idol they're the only size they really take me back. And just make me so emotional and crying like a baby because that feeling so relatable and it just triggers me every time but it's just she's an amazing person and someone I could look up to and just very real and honest and just and I hope her and her ex-husband find peace with each other because divorce is never a good thing and you guys on the podcast always an amazing job and very proud of you guys

[@judykay983]

0:26 into the podcast and she said her fave song is magic and i was like yay! i love that song so much

[@christabailey1705]

I love her. Great interview!

[@donnaneck9709]

Great episode! ❤

[@emilaraaaaa]

I love her personality

[@abhra3260]

39:14 might be the most heart wrenching truth about her situation with divorce that Kelly has ever told us.

[@mumuniamida7815]

At this point is there anything she hasn’t said

[@abhra3260]

@@mumuniamida7815 yes..she has never said why she got divorced.

[@Nala1026]

Kelly is the real deal love HER

[@mrigashiradoe]

I loved her, so much wisdom.

[@paulorodrigocs]

[@fanboyactivated6987]

[@vivianchan7557]

[@user-gb4hl5qj2x]

[@abhra3260]

47:47 you know 'MAGIC' on Chemistry is highly influenced by 'Why' by Annie Lenox which KC has stated before that is one of her favorite song

[@kylieeats1639]

Love from Justin to Kelly movie!!!! My ultimate spring break movie!

[@Machell]

Aligning of the planets ❤❤

[@douglasmichael3838]

Penn B is a great interviewer.

[@douglasmichael3838]

The other two not so much. Do you love a muse? What does independence mean to you? She didn’t even write that song.

[@mmyqxi]

OH MY GODD😭

[@MBGrace1]

Since you got Kelly, I'm going to hold out hope you get Drew Barrymore on here and Taylor Swift.

[@wolfmare50]

Plus, Broadway.

[@natashawatt9417]

I'm kind of worried about Kelly's old roommate.

[@Machell]

Lol😂😂 how life brings people places and things full ⭕⭕❤❤

[@JWPeace_4MyBoys]

I can not handle my heart being broke again k

[@meggzilla009]

Spot red flags and LEAVE THEM WHERE THEY ARE AND STOP COLLECTING THEM IM DEAD

[@tshay7]

I wonder what happened to the roommate from LA 🤯

[@ifoundyou81]

Is he the guy from Gossip Girl?@?

[@ashleychiasson2872]

Kelly definitely has adhd love how she tries to finish there sentences hahaha I'm like, oh girl, I do the same shit bahaha

[@ryanpelletier5208]

5:37

[@homedevice8332]

Okay I swear this guy was Thomas Rhett

[@averagestudent1158]

Taylor swift next. C'mon Penn, you can do it👍

[@I_am_Serjohn]

Love Kelly so much for just being her. Then she has this amazing voice ... beautiful! Btw, this guy is very awkwardly annoying. No personality whatsoever. Just my opinion. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@user-kb7cb6fi3n]

Would you ever sing a song to the Lord? And share it?

[@abcsoaps]

I didn’t know she was that religious growing up.

[@susiejimenez7998]

BesT QuotE FroM It’s ComplicateD: ‘I’m having an affair with Agnus’ husband’…(It’s Complicated is AwEsOmE!!! Meryl Streep)

[@coreymann475]

he looks just like joe from you

[@barbarabrown5709]

Percentage wise Kelly has a better voice record

[@catsbythefire]

Is Penn an actor? I feel I’ve seen him in something 🤔

[@mikeh3695]

He was a lead in gossip girl and You

[@sarahwashington1461]

Hahaha he’s trying to go soooo deep into conversation but she’s not here for it! She talks way too much! Quick question quick answer 😂😂😂

[@albertburks8932]

These are the most boring hosts. Kelly's giving all this energy and personality and they're like 😑

[@acb1057]

Yeah, it's kind of awkward. I really like Penn too but yeah.. awkward.

[@Dm34421]

So boring. They’re all awkward

[@goldwolf0606]

Whales don’t care 😂

[@juno2013]

Why is she such an exhibitionist? I feel for her kids. It’s not attractive.

[@christabailey1705]

What are you babbling about???

[@claudettecicora1192]

And why are you watching? So you can hate you need to ask yourself that

[@playtime5234]

The whale divorced her husband and has to pay alimony, waaah! Can't have it both ways ladies, equal rights, lol.
