Life has a way of throwing curveballs when you least expect it. For Kelly Clarkson, that curveball came in the form of frozen plumbing at her cozy Montana cabin. With no other options, the singer took matters into her own hands—or rather, her toddler's potty. Let's dive into the story behind this unexpected yet hilarious moment.
When Desperate Times Call for Desperate Measures
On a chilly Sunday, March 22, Kelly Clarkson shared a lighthearted yet relatable tweet with her fans. "So our plumbing froze up at our little cabin in Montana and, no joke, I just used my toddler’s potty," she wrote, adding a laughing emoji for good measure. The post went viral, showcasing Kelly's humor and adaptability in the face of adversity. "And just like that, I have no pride or shame!" she added, emphasizing how each day brings new challenges—and sometimes, unexpected solutions.

Staying Safe and Entertained During Isolation
Just a few days prior, on Friday, March 20, Kelly revealed that she and her family had retreated to their Montana home to practice social distancing amid the coronavirus outbreak. While isolation can be tough, Kelly found ways to keep herself entertained—and her fans engaged. In a fun Instagram post, she shared a video of herself belting out Mariah Carey's hit "Vanishing," proving that even in a bathroom, her voice could light up the room.
Receiving Praise from a Legend
Kelly's cover of "Vanishing" was so impressive that it caught the attention of Mariah Carey herself. The 49-year-old pop icon commented on the post, saying, "Beautiful rendition!!!" followed by a heart emoji. Mariah even joked about Kelly's busy schedule, noting, "I know you’re usually working 30 hours a day, 8 days a week, so this must be quite an adjustment for you (as it is for us all!) Keep the videos coming!! Do 'Whenever You Call' next." It's always a win when you get props from one of your idols, right?
Although Kelly hasn't posted any more singing videos since then, she did share some important updates about her show. Due to the ongoing health crisis, The Kelly Clarkson Show had to be "temporarily shut down." While it's disappointing, Kelly reassured her fans that safety is the top priority.

On March 13, Kelly took to Instagram to share an update with her fans. "As you may know, production on The Kelly Clarkson Show was temporarily shut down late last night," she wrote. "Out of concern and care for everyone’s safety, we have chosen to postpone the April first opening of my Las Vegas residency, Invincible, until July." She reassured her fans that details regarding ticket replacements would be released soon and expressed excitement about seeing them this summer. For now, she urged everyone to stay safe and healthy.
