Kelly Clarkson relives wild wardrobe malfunction that nearly left her exposed onstage: ‘I was commando’

Kelly Clarkson has a dirty little secret.

The “Miss Independent” songstress recalled suffering a shocking wardrobe malfunction, during Friday’s episode of her eponymous talk show.

“I had something happen on tour once where my skirt, the clip broke and it dropped, and I dropped so fast,” the original “American Idol” winner, 42, told Nick Jonas, who — along with co-star Adrienne Warren — stopped by to chat about his Broadway show, “The Last Five Years.”

“Look, long story short, I was commando,” Clarkson continued. “And I was like, it was a long skirt, and something happened to where it was like, ‘Oh, okay.’”

“It’s TMI for America,” she quipped, adding that in the moment, she marveled that it happened “the one night” she opted against undies. “It was really unfortunate.”

“Did you keep singing?” Warren asked, to which Clarkson replied, “Yes!”

The mom of two revealed she also stepped on glass during the same concert appearance. “It happens though, and you just to keep swimming,” she concluded.

It’s also not the only time the “Stronger” singer has experienced a wardrobe malfunction. During a 2023 episode of her iconic talk show, she told guest Kyle Richards that she split her own pants while shooting the music video for “Since U Been Gone.”

The director, she shared, had asked her to crouch down in her “tight leather pants.”

“He was like, ‘Go down and pop back up!’ I was like, ‘Oh, okay, cool.’” she recounted. “And I went down and just, ‘Whoops!’” she said.

Once again, Clarkson realized she was “commando” underneath and apologized to the drummer behind her. “Oh s–t, that’s a lot of moon, man,’” she hilariously recalled saying. “I’m sorry.”

And in 2023, the “Whole Lotta Woman” singer raced offstage after suffering a wardrobe malfunction that may have left her breast exposed during a show in Minnesota.

In footage of the incident, Clarkson was singing “Catch My Breath” when she began fiddling with the bodice of her lace-covered black dress as the band stopped playing.

“Am I good? Wait, hold on! Should I fix it?” she asked the band. “I think my boob’s showing!” she then exclaimed, abruptly leaving the stage to adjust the sexy ensemble.

Clarkson’s latest wardrobe malfunction reveal comes weeks after sources told Page Six that after a weeks-long absence, she’s eyeing an exit from “The Kelly Clarkson Show.” The singer apparently wants to spend more time with daughter River Rose, 10, and son Remy, 8.

“Kelly’s number one priority is her children, and they always will be,” an industry insider said at the time. “The show is grueling. It’s a whole lot of work, and I hear that Kelly would like to spend more time down South.”
