Kelly Clarkson Announces 2025 Las Vegas Residency
Kelly Clarkson is more than just a singer. She’s the host of her own daytime talk show, a role that’s won her multiple Emmy Awards.

Internet Set Ablaze With Her Flirty Gesture
While Kelly Clarkson returning to Vegas is exciting, it isn’t what the internet is talking about right now. During a recent performance of her popular Kellyoke segment, the singer made a flirty gesture that is taking over social media.
The American Idol winner covered “Your Love,” the 1986 hit song from English rock band The Outfield. The clip was posted on the show’s YouTube page. As usual, legions of Kelly’s fans praised her ability to take on any song. One fan wrote on the YouTube video, “This made my heart so full. I love this song and Kelly singing is just so amazing. I listened to it for hours. Would love to hear her cover more.”
But it wasn’t Kelly Clarkson’s voice that set the internet ablaze. It was her flirty gesture toward the beginning of the song. “Josie’s on a vacation far away / Come around and talk it over / So many things that I wanna say / You know I like my girls a little bit older,” she belted out.
Right as she sang “I like my girls a little bit older,” the singer gave the camera a knowing wink. It didn’t go unnoticed in the comment section of the YouTube video.
- “That wink when she said “girls a little bit older” is gold.”
- “That wink has me giggling and kicking my feet”
- “Here from TikTok – Kelly has taken wuhluhwuh TikTok by storm hahaha”
- “Kelly knew what she was doing to the Lesbian community with this wink”
- “The wink… oh kelly ur killing the lesbians here!”
- “Her little winks are so adorable.”
- “am I…. in love with Kelly Clarkson??”
TikTok Goes Wild
The flirty wink went far beyond YouTube, though. Kelly Clarkson’s wink became the talk of TikTok. Members of the LGBTQ+ community were especially effected by the wink. Many videos popped up of women, including straight women, shooting their shot with Kelly Clarkson.
As fans know, she had a very public split from Brandon Blackstock. The two broke up in 2020 but their messy divorce wasn’t finalized until 2022. She hasn’t been publicly linked to anyone since the split.
Viewers of The Kelly Clarkson show are used to seeing her get flustered by guests, not the other way around. Did you succumb to her flirty wink? Sound off in the comments.
