Editor-in-Chief Lucy Danziger tells ET that, of course, the 27-year-old American Idol champ was Photoshop-ed.
“Yes, of course we do post-production corrections on our images,” Lucy said. “Kelly Clarkson exudes confidence, and is a great role model for women of all sizes and stages of their life. She works out and is strong and healthy, and our picture shows her confidence and beauty. She literally glows from within. That is the feeling we’d all want to have. We love this cover and we love Kelly Clarkson.”
“My happy weight changes,” Kelly adds. “Sometimes I eat more; sometimes I play more. I’ll be different sizes all the time. When people talk about my weight, I’m like, ‘You seem to have a problem with it; I don’t. I’m fine!’ I’ve never felt uncomfortable on the red carpet or anything.”
Kelly Clarkson sticks her tongue out and pretends to lick weather anchorman Sam Champion during Good Morning America in Central Park, New York City on Friday morning (July 31). The 27-year-old original American Idol performed her hit songs “Already Gone” and “Walk Away.”
Earlier this week co-writer/producer Ryan Tedder addressed rumors that he had ripped off his own work on Beyonce’s “Halo” and Kelly’s “Already Gone.” Tedder’s said, “‘Already Gone’ is one of the best songs I’ve written or produced since [Leona Lewis's] ‘Bleeding Love’ and stands tall on it’s own merits apart from ‘Halo.’ They are two entirely different songs conceptually, melodically, & lyrically and I would never try to dupe an artist such as Kelly Clarkson or Beyonce into recording over the same musical track, the idea is both hurtful & absurd. I think when people hear ‘Already Gone’ they will hear what I hear — one of the greatest female vocalists on earth giving her most haunting and heart-breaking performance on a song she helped write. I challenge people to listen and form their own opinions.”
