Kelly Clarkson rejects former manager's plastic surgery advice with fiery comeback during Vegas residency
Kelly Clarkson isn't listening to critics weighing in on what she should do to her body.
On Saturday, Clarkson was performing in Las Vegas for her "Kelly Clarkson: Studio Sessions" residency when she recalled a former "d---" manager suggesting that she get a breast augmentation.
"I had some d--- manager one time tell me to get a boob job. I was like, ‘Why don’t you get a d--- job?’ Like, what? I’m fine with my itty-bitty t–--ies! Get out of here," the musician told the crowd, according to a fan-captured video uploaded to social media.
Clarkson asked the crowd, "Who says that s---?"

"People say that s---. They say it all the time to people in the industry. They say the craziest s---. I’m like, ‘This is not normal. You’ve normalized crazy.' Do you. Don’t make me do you. I like my itty-bitty t–--ies. They’ve served me well," Clarkson continued.
In 2020, Clarkson promoted the upcoming season of "The Voice" and joked that her promo photo made her look like she had gotten a boob job.
"I feel like this is what I would look like with a boob job ???? I don’t know why my chest looks enormous in this pic, but thank you to the Universe for this one, Ha! Finally!" Clarkson wrote at the time.
Clarkson rose to fame after winning the first season of "American Idol" in 2002. The "Stronger" singer was a judge on "The Voice" for nine seasons — from Season 14 through 21 and Season 23.
