00:00 Kelly Clarkson explains why post-divorce lyric swaps gave her perspective.
00:04 Kelly Clarkson was struggling to sing her romantic ballads when she was going through her divorce from Brandon Blackstock.
00:09 "Look, I was finding a hard time singing, piece by piece, like, I was like, 'I don't know if I want to really sing about that.'"
00:16 Clarkson, 41, said during the Friday, October 13, episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
00:22 "I was at a very different place when I wrote it."
00:24 Clarkson released "Piece by Piece" in 2015, which was inspired by her relationship with Blackstock.
00:29 Now 46, in comparison to her own absentee father.
00:33 "But piece by piece, he collected me up/off the ground, where you abandoned things, yeah," she sang on the song.
00:39 "Piece by piece, he filled the holes that you burned in me/at six years old and you know."
00:44 She added in another verse, "He never walks away/he never asks for money/he takes care of me/he loves me."
00:50 Kelly Clarkson and Brandon Blackstock have settled their divorce, and the musician is getting her feelings about the split-out via song.
00:57 Us Weekly confirmed in June 2020 that Clarkson filed for divorce from Blackstock after nearly seven years of marriage.
01:03 The pair's legal battle quickly turned messy as they fought over custody of.
01:07 During Clarkson's August 5 concert in Las Vegas, she tweaked the lyrics, "I just walk away/when they ask for money/I take care of me/cause I love me."
01:15 She sang during the Sin City gig, swapping "he" for "I."
01:18 Clarkson explained to host Jimmy Fallon that now her fans want her to re-record her new version of "Piece by Piece."
01:24 "It is very true," she said after Fallon, 49, called it a healing version of the track.
01:29 "I rewrote it literally an hour before I went on stage in Vegas to sing it because I was like, 'I can't sing these lyrics, but I know people want me to sing the song,' and so I changed it right before the show."
01:39 She continued, "It kind of put perspective on me as well. It was like, 'That was a lot of pressure to put on someone, you know, to pick up the pieces of something of your past.'
01:48 There was a lot going on for me that day, but it ended up working out."
01:51 Clarkson filed for divorce from Blackstock in June 2020 after seven years of marriage.
01:56 Amid the legal battle, they fought over assets, including her Montana residence that he lived in in custody of daughter River Rose, 9, and son Remington, 7.
02:04 The divorce was finalized in March 2022, with Clarkson retaining primary custody of the kids and agreeing to pay Blackstock a one-time sum of $1.3 million and $115,000 per month in spousal support until January 2024.
02:19 Kelly Clarkson is no stranger to a breakup anthem, but her new music hits different following her messy divorce from Brandon Blackstock.
02:26 As Weekly confirmed in June 2020 that the American Idol alum filed to legally end her marriage to the manager, the twosome, who started dating in 2011, wed in 2013.
02:36 They clashed on.
02:37 Throughout the divorce, Clarkson continued to helm her eponymous daytime talk show.
02:41 "I'm gonna be real with you, like, those last two seasons of my talk show, specifically, were very hard behind the scenes," she said on Friday.
02:48 "Sometimes you send your representative to an event because it's, like, I can't show up today.
02:53 Like, I just have to go through the motions and be a robot, because if I didn't, I would break down."
02:58 Season 5 of The Kelly Clarkson Show, which premieres on Monday, October 15, will be filmed in New York City's 30 Rockefeller Plaza.
03:06 Clarkson chose to move to the Big Apple with River Rose and Remy since it was closer to her family.
03:11 "I'm excited about season 5 here in New York because I'm in such a great place and my little kids are in such a great place," she gushed on Friday.
03:18 I'm happy I'm president interviews because I wasn't before.
