Kelly Clarkson is finally receiving her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and the timing could not be any more perfect! Kelly was originally supposed to receive her star in 2021, but the ceremony was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Now, on the 20th anniversary of her win on the first edition of American Idol, there could not be any more perfect moment like this!
Because it is 20 years after Kelly’s win, Simon Cowell being the one who will award her the star on September 19 is incredibly fitting. Other honorees in Kelly’s class include Missy Elliott, Salt-N-Pepa, Morris Chestnut, Benedict Cumberbatch, Zac Efron, Giancarlo Giannini, and Shia LaBeouf.
Circling back to Clarkson’s momentous career milestone Simon showed he’s just as excited. When speaking about the honor and possibly working with Kelly again, he told Variety: “20 years after all this happens, who’s to say what’s going to happen in the future? I would love to work with Kelly on something. Anytime she’s asked me to do something, I always do it, as she’s always been the first to hold her hand up when something’s happened to me, So, I think it’s sort of naturally going to happen one day.”
And g that Kelly was the one who honored Simon with his own star in 2018, we can’t help but wait for them to work again and be in awe of the honor that is perfectly fitted for Kelly. After a highly publicized divorce, the star – who will take over Ellen’s spot on television with her show, The Kelly Clarkson Show, and has a new album on the way – is set to have a great end to the year.
