Kelly Clarkson had an emotional moment during her Christmas special this week on NBC.
The 39-year-old singer and The Voice coach opened up about her new song “Merry Christmas (To the One I Used to Know)” before performing it for her viewers. She talked about how her divorce from Brandon Blackstock inspired the song.

“The holidays come with a whole range of emotions,” Kelly said. “I’m gonna be real with y’all — when I wrote this next song, I was crying my face off, which happens even at Christmastime, everyone. I had just put my kids to bed and I was just going through it, having a really hard time, and it’s been a really tough year for a lot of us.”
She continued, “And I wrote this song for me, but also because there aren’t many holiday songs for people feeling alone or lost or just plain sad other than Dolly Parton’s classic ‘Hard Candy Christmas,’ which we all love. It’s about getting through a tough holiday. I absolutely love that song and it allowed me to write this.”
Kelly concluded the special with her holiday breakup song “Christmas Isn’t Canceled (Just You)” and she talked about that tune as well.
“I was honestly a little nervous about sharing this one because it’s not your typical Christmas single,” Kelly said. “But it was the first song that I wrote for this album and I wrote it because a lot of things were taken from us over the last couple of years — people, relationships, jobs, etc. There were so many things taken. But instead of looking at everything that’s gone wrong, we should be looking at all the things that have gone right. And that’s what my therapist tells me anyway so that’s who I’m singing to! But no matter what people try to take from you, nobody can cancel Christmas, y’all.”
