Kelly Clarkson Helps Marry Couple During Las Vegas Residency
Kelly Clarkson’s Las Vegas Residency won’t last forever, but she left her fans with one heck of a memory … a wedding ceremony mid-show!
The “Stronger” singer stopped by a pair of men in the audience during her New Year’s Eve show who asked her to bear witness to their union.
One of the men said he and his partner had been together nearly 15 years and were ready to tie the knot.
During this story, their officiant came down and Kelly handed the mic over to him … and he didn’t miss a beat, launching into a quick ceremony.
The happy couple said their “I do’s” and, by the “power of Kelly Clarkson’s show” the officiant proclaimed them married.
Kelly didn’t stop there. The “Since U Been Gone” songstress shook hands with the couple’s parents and congratulated them on the marriage as well.
It’s good to know Kelly’s opinion on love hasn’t soured given her contentious divorce from her ex-husband, Brandon Blackstock.
Though the two settled their divorce in 2022, Blackstock overcharged Kelly when he managed her career, and judge ruled he owed her about $2.6 million in November.
The only question now … how’s Adele gonna top this?!?

Zac Brown is best known for celebrating simple pleasures. As his most popular song puts it, all he needs is “a little bit of chicken fried, cold beer on a Friday night, a pair of jeans that fit just right, and the radio on.”
Now, he’s telling a darker story.
The Zac Brown Band’s new album draws partly from Brown’s youth growing up outside Atlanta. “Unless someone knows me very well and is very close to me, I haven’t shared a lot of what drove me into music,” he told Morning Edition.
Brown recalled that both his mother and stepfather lived with mental illness. “I grew up in a really crazy environment, in and out of battered women’s shelters,” he said. “And as a kid, trying to make sense of that, trying to protect my mom, trying to figure out what the hell is going on in my house or whatever, that drove me into music.”
He left home young. Brown said he was playing coffeehouses at 14 and touring by 17. Those early experiences, he added, helped him find his voice. “It gave me my resilience. It gave me my resolve,” he said. “The level of empathy that I am able to hold, it can be kind of crippling in a way, but I think it really serves me well as an artist. Those were all gifts, but you don’t know them at the time.”
That desire to draw inspiration out of that dark backstory explains the tone of songs like “Butterfly,” his duet with Dolly Parton.
Other songs build on elaborate harmonies, which come from another side of his youth. “I grew up as a choir nerd,” he admitted. “The vocal arrangement for me is always my favorite part.”
Brown said he worked with a 20-piece choir on this album, including the standout track “Animal.”
“When you can wrap the right story with the right melody with the right harmony … that’s how you get that visceral feeling. That’s how you get the chill bumps,” he said “I long to hear things that really move me.”
“Love & Fear” was released on December 5 — the same day the Zac Brown Band played its first of several concerts at The Sphere, the giant performance space in Las Vegas.

Kyle Richards says she’s been seeing other people amid her separation from Mauricio Umansky … but, unlike her estranged husband, she’s keeping things under wraps.
“The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” OG opens up about her relationship status and takes some digs at Mauricio’s dating life in an upcoming ‘RHOBH’ episode.
In a preview, Kyle and Mauricio are chatting it up, and they start talking about paparazzi photos of Mauricio and a mystery blonde.
Mauricio asks Kyle if she’s been seeing other people, but she waits until she’s doing a confessional to reveal that she has, in fact, dated amid their separation.
Kyle says she’s being private and discreet, unlike Mauricio … and says she doesn’t want her estranged husband, or their kids, to see photos of her going on dates.
Then, Kyle gets in another dig, explaining … “I don’t feel the need to parade around showing it off to everyone.”
Kyle is coy about who she’s been seeing … but, earlier this year, she said she’s opened her mind sexually.
