Kelly Clarkson might lead a charmed life these days thanks to her formidable fortune, but she didn’t always have access to the kind of funds that she does today. On an episode of Spotify’s The Rewind with Guy Raz podcast in November 2018, Clarkson talked about her life before finding fame on American Idol saying, “I had nothing to my name.” She also admitted that she had to get a little crafty in order to even show up for the initial audition telling the podcast host, “Like, literally, I had to make that top to go to this audition. I had like no clothes, no nothing.”
However, Clarkson didn’t shy away from her situation but, rather, embraced it. According to CNBC, when the star stood up in front of the Idol judges, she “showed off her outfit she had made from an old pair of jeans and joked with host Ryan Seacrest, ‘I’m gonna be a fashion designer if this doesn’t work out.'” We’ll never know if she would have indeed used her DIY talents to pursue a different profession because, of course, American Idol did work out. And thanks to her mega-successful career, it’s safe to say that these days Clarkson can buy as many snazzy outfits as she likes.
