She gave birth to River Rose, her daughter with husband Brandon Blackstock, last summer. Clarkson told the audience that she had not planned to announce her pregnancy just yet and that even some family members still had not heard the news. But “I was crying, and I didn’t want you to think I was crazy,” she said. The song’s lyrics focus on parenting: “I would never leave her like you left me/She will never have to wonder her worth/Because unlike you, I’m gonna put her first,” Clarkson sings at one point. Despite her tears, Clarkson was able to laugh at her spur-of-the-moment admission. “I’m honestly so hormonal today,” she said. “That’s totally not how I wanted to announce that.” \[[_USA Today_](http://www.usatoday.com/story/life/people/2015/08/20/kelly-clarkson-pregnant/32036965/)\] "I'm Totally Pregnant," Kelly Clarkson Admits Onstage in L.A. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4004289/kelly-clarkson-music-pop-singer-pregnant/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4004289/kelly-clarkson-music-pop-singer-pregnant/"},"headline":"'I'm Totally Pregnant,' Kelly Clarkson Tells Fans Onstage in L.A.","datePublished":"2015-08-20T08:09:59.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-04T07:49:30.150Z","description":"The admission came after she got teary while singing her anthem \"Piece by Piece\"","url":"https://time.com/4004289/kelly-clarkson-music-pop-singer-pregnant/","keywords":["Music","Pop","Pregnant","singer","kelly clarkson"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt0314dcedb25a8b83/6988602acf40a861c6c3f503/478953786.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Alissa Greenberg","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/alissa-greenberg/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt0314dcedb25a8b83/6988602acf40a861c6c3f503/478953786.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"97.3 Alice Hosts Alice's Summerthing","caption":"97.3 Alice Hosts Alice's Summerthing","creditText":"Tim Mosenfelder—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4004289/kelly-clarkson-music-pop-singer-pregnant/","name":"'I'm Totally Pregnant,' Kelly Clarkson Tells Fans Onstage in L.A."}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Giorgio Moroder Describes the Perfect Pop Dance Song","description":"At the age of 74, electronic music producer Giorgio Moroder is releasing his first album in three decades.","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/J4PWndMR/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2015-02-06T22:07:47.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/J4PWndMR.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/4004289/kelly-clarkson-music-pop-singer-pregnant/","duration":"PT1M15S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/4004289/kelly-clarkson-music-pop-singer-pregnant/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
