American Idol alum makes a big return to country music

According to multiple reports, Kelly Clarkson is making a big return to country music. She will attend the Country Music Awards on Wednesday, November 9. This is also the same event where she first met her ex-husband Brandon Blackstock. In June 2020, she filed for divorce, citing “irreconcilable differences” as the reason behind their split.

Kelsea Ballerini and Carly Pearce will also be in attendance at the award ceremony. What’s also interesting is that each of these singers is fresh off a divorce. The trio is expected to perform their song “You’re Drunk, Go Home.” Carly shared that it’s the perfect song for what she’s currently going through in her life.

As Country Music Alley previously reported, Kelsea settled her divorce from fellow country singer Morgan Evans. Back in 2020, Carly and singer Michael Ray divorced, which provided her with plenty of material for the 29: Written in Stone album. Kelly Clarkson finalized her divorce from Brandon earlier this year.

This is her big return to the country music circuit. Kelly has teased that she will be releasing a post-divorce album soon. Meanwhile, Carly is up for five awards at the 2022 CMA Awards and Kelsea has a nomination in one category. Carly will also perform her new song “Dear Miss Loretta” during the live broadcast.
