Kelly Clarkson is an American singer, songwriter and television personality who was born on April 24, 1982, in Fort Worth, Texas. She became famous in 2002 as the first winner of American Idol, signed with RCA Records, and released A Moment Like This, the best-selling single of the year in the US. Her debut album Thankful entered the Billboard 200 at number one in 2003, and Breakaway in 2004 became one of the best-selling albums of the century thanks to Since U Been Gone and Behind These Hazel Eyes.
Later albums include All I Ever Wanted, Stronger, the holiday album Wrapped in Red, Piece by Piece, Meaning of Life and Chemistry in 2023. She was a coach on The Voice for ten seasons between 2018 and 2026, and she is the female coach with the most winners. She hosted The Kelly Clarkson Show from 2019 to 2026. She has sold over 82 million records and won three Grammy Awards, nine Daytime Emmy Awards and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
How Kelly Clarkson makes her money
Music sales are her foundation. With over 82 million records sold and a dozen top-ten hits on the Hot 100, her catalog continues to pay through sales, streaming and radio play.
Holiday music is a dependable extra. Underneath the Tree, from Wrapped in Red, is the most popular Christmas song of the century according to ASCAP, so it earns again every holiday season.
Television turned her into a much bigger earner. Hosting The Kelly Clarkson Show from 2019 to 2026 and coaching ten seasons of The Voice gave her steady network salaries on top of her music.
Awards and records add to her standing. She has nine Daytime Emmy Awards and three Grammys, and she was the first act to top Billboard's pop, adult contemporary, country and dance airplay charts, which helps her songs earn on many radio formats.
