Kelly Brianne (born April 24, 1982), known professionally as Kelly Clarkson, is an American singer, songwriter, actress, author, and television personality. She rose to fame after winning the first season of American Idol in 2002, which earned her a record deal with RCA. Her debut single, "A Moment Like This", topped the US Billboard Hot 100, and became the country's best selling single of 2002. It was included on her debut studio album, Thankful (2003), which debuted atop the Billboard 200. Trying to reinvent her image, Clarkson parted ways with Idol management and shifted to pop rock for her second studio album, Breakaway (2004). Supported by four US top-ten singles – the title track, "Since U Been Gone", "Behind These Hazel Eyes", and "Because of You" – Breakaway sold over 12 million copies worldwide and won two Grammy Awards. Clarkson took further creative control for her third studio album, My December (2007), co-writing all of its tracks and becoming its executive producer. However, her label was dissatisfied with the album's darker rock music and promoted it reluctantly. Clarkson's fourth and fifth studio albums, All I Ever Wanted (2009) and Stronger (2011), returned to a lighter tone and pop rock sound, with the former becoming her second US number-one album and the latter making her the first artist to win the Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Album twice. Both albums spawned a Hot 100 number-one single: "My Life Would Suck Without You", which holds the record for the biggest jump to number one in the chart's history, and "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)", which became her best-selling single worldwide. Clarkson then became the first American female artist to release the best-selling Christmas album of the year with Wrapped in Red (2013). Her seventh studio album, Piece by Piece (2015), debuted at number-one in the US, while its title track reached the top ten. After leaving RCA and signing with Atlantic in 2016, Clarkson released her soul-influenced eighth album, Meaning of Life (2017), which was promoted by her highest-grossing tour to date. She went on to release her ninth studio album and second Christmas album, When Christmas Comes Around... (2021). Clarkson has sold over 25 million albums and 45 million singles worldwide. She has 11 top-ten singles in the US, and nine top-ten singles in the UK, Canada, and Australia. She became the first artist in history to top each of Billboard's pop, adult contemporary, adult pop, country, and dance charts. Clarkson also served as a coach on The Voice from its fourteenth season to the twenty-first season, and since 2019, has hosted her own talk show, The Kelly Clarkson Show. Among her numerous accolades, Clarkson has received three MTV Video Music Awards, four American Music Awards, two Academy of Country Music Awards, and three Daytime Emmy Awards. Billboard has hailed Clarkson as "one of pop music's greatest singers", and honored her with the Powerhouse Award, while VH1 ranked her nineteenth on their list of the 100 Greatest Women in Music.

Kelly Brianne (geboren am 24. April 1982), beruflich bekannt als Kelly Clarkson, ist eine US-amerikanische Sängerin, Songwriterin, Schauspielerin, Autorin und Fernsehpersönlichkeit. Bekanntheit erlangte sie durch ihren Sieg in der ersten Staffel von *American Idol* im Jahr 2002, der ihr einen Plattenvertrag bei RCA einbrachte. Ihre Debütsingle „A Moment Like This“ erreichte Platz 1 der US-Billboard-Hot-100 und war die meistverkaufte Single des Jahres 2002 in den USA. Sie war auf ihrem Debütalbum *Thankful* (2003) enthalten, das direkt auf Platz 1 der Billboard-200-Charts einstieg. Um ihr Image zu wandeln, trennte sich Clarkson vom *Idol*-Management und wandte sich für ihr zweites Studioalbum *Breakaway* (2004) dem Pop-Rock zu. Unterstützt durch vier Top-10-Singles in den USA – den Titelsong sowie „Since U Been Gone“, „Behind These Hazel Eyes“ und „Because of You“ – verkaufte sich *Breakaway* weltweit über 12 Millionen Mal und gewann zwei Grammy Awards. Für ihr drittes Studioalbum *My December* (2007) übernahm Clarkson mehr kreative Kontrolle; sie war an allen Songs als Co-Autorin beteiligt und fungierte als ausführende Produzentin. Ihr Label war jedoch mit dem düstereren Rock-Sound des Albums unzufrieden und bewarb es nur zögerlich. Clarksons viertes und fünftes Studioalbum, *All I Ever Wanted* (2009) und *Stronger* (2011), kehrten zu einer leichteren Stimmung und einem Pop-Rock-Sound zurück. Ersteres wurde ihr zweites Nummer-eins-Album in den USA, während sie mit Letzterem als erste Künstlerin zweimal den Grammy Award für das „Best Pop Vocal Album“ gewann. Beide Alben brachten jeweils eine Nummer-eins-Single in den Hot 100 hervor: „My Life Would Suck Without You“ (das den Rekord für den größten Sprung auf Platz 1 in der Geschichte der Charts hält) und „Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)“ (ihre weltweit meistverkaufte Single). Mit *Wrapped in Red* (2013) war Clarkson zudem die erste US-amerikanische Künstlerin, die das meistverkaufte Weihnachtsalbum des Jahres veröffentlichte. Ihr siebtes Studioalbum *Piece by Piece* (2015) stieg in den USA auf Platz 1 ein, während der gleichnamige Titelsong die Top 10 erreichte. Nachdem sie RCA verlassen und 2016 bei Atlantic unterschrieben hatte, veröffentlichte Clarkson ihr vom Soul beeinflusstes achtes Album *Meaning of Life* (2017), das von ihrer bis dato umsatzstärksten Tournee begleitet wurde. Anschließend veröffentlichte sie ihr neuntes Studioalbum sowie ihr zweites Weihnachtsalbum, *When Christmas Comes Around...* (2021).
