Kelly Clarkson seemingly shades ex-husband in new song
Kelly is currently paying her ex-husband around R3-million a month for spousal and child support.
It looks like Kelly Clarkson will be wearing her heart on her sleeve when she drops her new music.
The singer and talk show host has shared a teaser clip of her break-up song, 'Mine'. The song is the lead single on her upcoming album, 'Chemistry'.
"Someone's gonna show you/ How a heart can be used/Like you did mine," Kelly sings on the track.
The 40-year-old also revealed that 'Mine' is due for release on 14 April 2023.

Kelly's fans are convinced that the single is about her ex-husband, Brandon Blackstock. She was ordered to pay him $200,000 (R3-million at the time) per month for both spousal and child support in 2021.
Kelly reportedly has to make the spousal support payments - which amount to $115,000 (R2-million) - until 31 January 2024. The singer has a reported net worth of around $50-million.
The former couple has two children together - River Rose and Remington Alexander. Kelly's fans gave Brandon a major side-eye after their split, with some accusing him of using her.
Some also pointed out that his father, Narvel Blackstock - who once managed Kelly's career, received a payout of $47.5-million when he divorced country star Reba McEntire in 2015.

It's not the first time Kelly has taken a swipe at her ex-husband in a song.
The former 'American Idols' winner changed the lyrics of Gayle's smash hit, 'ABCDEFU', during a cover of the song on 'The Kelly Clarkson Show'.
Gayle sings on the clean version of the song:
Forget you and your mom and your sister and your job
And your broke down car and the things you call art
Kelly changed the lyrics to:
Forget you and your dad and the fact that you got half
And my broken heart, turned that s**t into art.
The 'Stronger' singer is yet to reveal the release date for her new album. 'Chemistry' is her first studio album since 2017's 'Meaning of Life'.
