After going through a tumultuous divorce, Kelly Clarkson isn’t quite ready to fully venture back into music. The “Since U Been Gone” hitmaker, 40, explained during her recent appearance on Apple Music’s The Chart Show with Brooke Reese that her music career has been the “hardest thing to navigate” after an impactful split (from ex-husband talent manager Brandon Blackstock) affected her personal life.
In the new interview, the Voice coach discussed her divorce from Blackstock, 45, the struggles that emerged with it, and her plans for future music. “It’s been the hardest thing to navigate,” she said about making music. “I’ve never had this difficult of a project,” she added. “It’s one of those things where I’m a human and I’m going through something huge. Obviously, everybody knows a huge divorce went through and it’s been like, two years and not easy with kids.”

As for if (and hopefully when!) fans can expect new music from Clarkson, she said that it’s “coming,” and that she is still figuring out what she wants to release (a post-divorce rock record sounds good to us!) “I just got to get my crap together!” she joked about the situation, as fans seem more than understanding of her situation, welcoming, and appreciative of new music whenever she is ready for it.
