Kelly Clarkson Laughs Off Lesbian Rumors: ‘I Have A Boyfriend’
Kelly Clarkson isn’t going to let rumors get her upset or is she going to give in to what other people expect of a pop star.
The 30 year-old singer/songwriter covers the August issue of Lucky magazine and says hogwash to all that nonsense.
On the persistent whispers she is a lesbian: “Oh, there’s all these rumors that I’m a lesbian. I have a boyfriend now, Brandon Blackstock, my manager Narvel’s son, Reba McEntire’s stepson? I just had my 30th birthday and we went turkey shooting. It’s what I wanted to do, so we went.”
On whether she thinks she’s country or pop: “Even though I’m a pop singer, I really have more the life of a country singer. I put on the Hank Williams and the Patsy Cline and the Rosemary Clooney on vinyl — I’m not trying to be some cool indie-rock person, I just love the way it sounds—and throw on a T-shirt and jeans. In Texas, we practically come out of the womb in jeans.”
On playing by the rules to be a successful pop star: “The hardest thing about being in this business is just being able to be yourself. People act like there’s this one set of rules to follow to be a pop star and I think, ‘Well, you say I’m a pop star, so maybe that’s not true.’ ”
Kelly’s issue in on sale July 10th.
