“Because of You” Kelly Clarkson has been singing her heart out!
The hitmaker did not hold back from speaking her truth on Thursday, March 30 during her award-winning daytime talk show. During a Kellyoke performance, Clarkson covered “abcdefu” by GAYLE, and altered some of the song’s lyrics to allude to her divorce from ex-husband Brandon Blackstock, with whom she shares son Remington Alexander and daughter River Rose with.
“Forget you and your dad / And the fact that you got half / And my broken heart, turned that s–t into art,” sings Clarkson. “Forget you and your friends / That I’ll never see again / Everybody but your dog / You can all get lost.”

Clarkson sang instead of GAYLE’s original lyrics: “F–k you and your mom / And your sister and your job / And your broke-ass car, and that s–t you call art”—three times throughout her performance.

The “American Idol” alum did not provide an explanation for the remix, but it appears that the new rendition makes reference to a number of details of her divorce with Blackstock, including the controversy surrounding the lawsuit from her ex-father-in-law Narvel Blackstock’s management business.
The phrase “fact that you got half” also appears to be a reference to their divorce agreement, where she agreed to pay Blackstock a whopping $1.3 million in addition to monthly spousal and child support.
Fans can expect Clarkson’s upcoming album Chemistry to cover more on the topic, considering she recently announced that the album is “the arc of an entire relationship.”
