Kelly Clarkson Fat As Fuck And Loving It

Kelly Clarkson clapped back at the h8ers this July Fourth when bullied about her weight. Again. The American Idol alum tweeted: 

Had a beautiful day w/family & I know I was able 2 have it because of the strength&courage of the men&women who have&are protecting us!

To which a user poignantly commented: “You’re fat.” To which Clarkson responded: “….and still fucking awesome.”

Clarkson ballooned up after her rise to stardom as the eh-looking inaugural American Idol winner in 2002. She stood out from other pop stars at the time because she could actually sing without a team of highly skilled professionals able to turn gorilla fucking noises into touching ballads. Our Clarkson meet and greet happened to be during a time when weight was on her side. Now she’s fat as holy hell. So is Adele. So is our president. Making fun of someone for being fat who knows that they’re fat is as thrilling as calling Kevin Spacey gay. 

Clarkson bills herself as a talented singer. Which she is. Any physical appeal she had was secondary to her voice. Maybe her looks helped her win Idol. If so, we weren’t very discerning in 2002. Mariah Carey’s look is inspired by the question: “What would burrata cheese look like if it was completely delusional and in a girdle?” Clarkson’s look is inspired by the question: “What would burrata cheese look like if it didn’t give a fuck?”

Clarkson’s slamming of the h8ers gets extra points because it doesn’t segue into a manifesto on body shaming. Probably because she isn’t shameful of her body. Ashley Graham would have already filmed a moving video response in which she cries while freebasing cream cheese. The vision of a self-assured woman. If you’re going to be thin, be thin. If you’re going to be fat, be Kelly Clarkson.
