Kelly Clarkson Looks Totally Unrecognizable After Weight Loss Transformation

Renée Rapp wasn't the only singer Kelly Clarkson was compared to in that TikTok. One person commented, "Why did I think this was Sabrina Carpenter?" Another simply marveled at how good Clarkson looked: "I love thisss but can we just talk about how hot she is too. Good lord mama," accompanied by four sweating emojis. However, there have been times in the past when Clarkson's weight loss was a bad sign. 

In a 2017 interview with Attitude magazine, Clarkson said, "When I was really skinny and unhappy, I wanted to kill myself. I was miserable, like inside and out, for four years of my life. But no one cared, because aesthetically you make sense." Clarkson later posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, and said, "Just to clear something up. I wasn't ever miserable because I had to be thin. I said I was miserable & as a result I became thin." 

In a different tweet, she said her suicidal thoughts were not related to her weight. "I said people had no idea I was unhappy oddly enough because I appeared healthy," Clarkson added. In a Redbook interview that was published a few weeks later, Clarkson said, "It's when I'm fat that I'm happy ... For me, when I'm skinny is usually when I'm not doing well." Thankfully, Clarkson seems to have found a healthy balance in her life today.
