Thank you @Variety! #repost from @Variety: Becoming the first winner of “American Idol” at just 20 years old, Kelly Clarkson has been in the public eye for more than two decades. But she behaves as if she has no idea how famous she is. Despite being a Grammy-winning international superstar, she is startlingly authentic. ⁠ ⁠ “I find myself to be incredibly normal,” she says. “I don’t know how that happened. I always feel bad for artists who can’t go anywhere. I can go to Target all the time, anytime I want. Somehow I lucked out.” ⁠ ⁠ In the full cover story, Clarkson opens up about taking over Ellen’s daytime slot, recording her upcoming album and her big Broadway dreams. ⁠ ⁠ (📸: @brianbowensmith)
