Kelly Clarkson spoke about her pregnancy and morning sickness, her Christmas album and TV special and more on the Today Show. She also performed her new holiday single, ‘Underneath the Tree. It was her first live television interview since announcing that she is expecting her first child with her new husband, Brandon Blackstock.
The 31-year-old the multi-Grammy winning singer-songwriter spoke with Today Show co-anchor Savannah Guthrie live in Studio 1A at Rockefeller Center. She was attired in a Christmas red dress. “Wrapped in Red,” Guthrie noted, which is the title of her first-ever Christmas album which was recently released. The festive party dress had a gathered waistline and a full 1950s style skirt and did not appear to be concealing a baby bump.
Kelly Clarkson was, however, very much aware of her pregnancy. She said, “I don’t even call it morning sickness because it’s all day and all night, but I’m super excited.”
She acknowledged that in some of the recent interviews she gave she was already pregnant. She did not say which ones, but presumably she already knew during her recent appearance on the ‘Tonight Show’ as she was evasive with host Jay Leno, in saying, “We are not announcing anything right now.”
She said she was planning to wait until the end of her first trimester but made the announcement earlier because of her morning sickness had led to cancellations. “I didn’t want people to think I was cancelling and lazy or something so we just told people.”
Clarkson also talked about why she thinks she will have a girl. “I’m way too early to know. but scientifically I say — this is going to be way too much information — they say if it’s like later, like after you ovulate, girl sperm lasts longer than boy sperm and mine was late. There’s a scientific reason why I think I’m having a girl.”
Asked if she had picked out baby names, she said, “We’re not saying because I don’t want somebody to steal my baby name. I’m still early.” She went on to say, “We named our kid before we were even pregnant.”
Guthrie asked her about some comments she had made in an interview for “Parade” magazine in which she said she had been “pathetically alone for seven years” before meeting Brandon Blackstock whom she would eventually marry.
Clarkson said, “It was a good six and a half [years] but I think it’s because our job is so not normal. We’re on the go all the time. It’s hard to date.” She went on to not that as a talent manager her husband understands what she does and she noted that he can do his job while on the road and thus be with her sometimes.
She also revealed she has written a couple of songs about him, one of which is on the new Christmas album, ‘Brandon’s Song.’ When asked if it was difficult to pick among all the various Christmas classics for the album, she said, “I have been making this CD in my head for years. I hate when you buy an album and all the songs sound the same. I feel jipped. That’s not my album.”
Later in the program, she delivered a spirited and lively performance of one of the songs from the album, ‘Underneath the Tree.’ Earlier she has said she would sing in spite of morning sickness. See the performance and the interview below.
Her holiday special, ‘Kelly Clarkson’s Cautionary Christmas Tale’ will be broadcast on December 11th on NBC. Matt Lauer and William Shatner and others will make appearances on the show.
