Kelly Clarkson recently revealed one of her most mortifying on-stage experiences, recounting how she narrowly avoided flashing the audience due to a wardrobe mishap while performing without underwear.

The pop icon shared this humorous anecdote on a recent episode of her talk show, The Kelly Clarkson Show. Her guests were singer Nick Jonas and Adrienne Warren, who are currently starring together in the Broadway production of The Last Five Years.

The conversation veered into this territory when Clarkson learned that Jonas had experienced a wardrobe malfunction himself, splitting his pants during a rehearsal.

Clarkson, like many artists, could empathize with such a predicament.

“I once had an incident on tour where the clip on my skirt broke, and it fell right off,” the Since U Been Gone singer recounted with a laugh.

She elaborated, “The reason I dropped so quickly was because, well, I wasn’t wearing any underwear. It was a long skirt, and something went wrong. Okay, maybe that’s too much information,” she added, clearly amused yet a bit embarrassed.

Clarkson joked that she couldn’t believe it happened on the ‘one night’ where she wasn’t wearing underwear.

But her bad luck didn’t stop there – as she also shared that she had stepped on a piece of glass that same night.

‘I had something happen on tour once where my skirt, the clip broke, and it dropped,’ she said, before revealing that she wasn’t wearing underwear 

‘It was like, what is wrong? Who did I piss off?’ Clarkson joked.

Her lighthearted story comes just weeks after her return to her daytime talk show after a mysterious absence due to a ‘private matter.’

The singer had been absent for 10 episodes of the show, but did not reveal why.

While she was gone, she had a number of stars fill in for her as guest hosts, like Brooke Shields and Molly Sims.

Last month, Clarkson celebrated 1,000 episodes of her talk show, which first debuted in 2019, with an emotional and heartfelt speech.

‘Welcome to the Kelly Clarkson Show and our 1,000th episode,’ she said. ‘I can’t believe today marks the 1,000th. It’s crazy.’

She continued: ‘We have met some hugely talented people, tons of big stars and inspiring everyday heroes.’

She gushed about how she, her team, and her fans have ‘created a community and supported each other through a lot of ups and downs.’

Seemingly referencing her own life and the ‘personal matter’ she has been dealing with lately, she jokingly added: ‘A lot of ups and downs personally as well.’

The American Idol alum reflected on hosting her show during the COVID-19 pandemic and taping episodes when she had various injuries over the years, including when she had ‘an eye patch and with my leg in a cast.’

Throughout all of the memories, she joked that she ‘still can’t cook.’

‘For 1,000 episodes, we have laughed together, we have cried together with beautiful stories, sang together with some people, danced together, celebrated and competed together,’ she said about the emotional moments.

‘I’ve lost, alone, a lot,’ she added, without any additional details nor clarification.
