Love how open she is, because there are so many people going through what she is.
- Kelly Clarkson filed for a divorce from her husband, Brandon Blackstock, in June after being married for seven years.
- Clarkson has been open about the process and said music has helped her cope. There is one song in particular the songstress said that has helped her get through and it's a song by Garth Brooks called "The Dance".
"So I'm going through a divorce and there's been like a lot of books and people always give you stuff to help, especially when you have kids and stuff," Clarkson said. "And there's so much shame and guilt, and everybody sends you stuff, and I was just kind of working through it."
"I couldn't quite nail down the feeling," she continued. "Like you don't want to crap on it, like, you don't want to say that [relationship] doesn't count or matter, but you don't know what to put in it because it didn't work out like you wanted. So, anyway, I kid you not, I was listening to my playlist and 'The Dance' came on. And I was like, 'No, that's the thing. That's it.'"
