"I am super stoked because the one and only Dolly Parton is hosting and I have a special tribute planned just for her," Kelly shared, before shocking her audience by admitting that they had all won tickets to the ceremony which is being held in Las Vegas.

The news comes a week after she delivered a very honest account of what home life is like for her as she had been quarantined with her two children.

The star called into her own chat show and discussed her current situation with guest host Taraji P. Henson. Kelly had ditched her normally glamorous appearance and instead appeared wearing a bathrobe, eye-mask and makeup-free.

"Sometimes women don't rise. Sometimes we fall," she said with a smile and a laugh, seemingly taking the situation in her stride. "I thought we were done with quarantining, and I'm so tired. I broke a nail. I'm so broken. This is me broken. My almond milk just expired. America, this is what I look like. You're welcome."
