Halloween seems to be the time for confessions, and Kelly Clarkson is leaning into that spirit with a new behind-the-scenes outtake from her talk show.
The TV host and singer, 41, welcomed RHOBH star Kyle Richards to the Halloween episode of The Kelly Clarkson Show, where the two discussed their discomfort with their respective costumes.
While Kelly was dressed as a vampire with large fans, Kyle wore a skintight leather catsuit, and the prospect of ripping leather reminded Kelly of a past wardrobe malfunction of her own. Catch the revelation in the video below…
The inaugural American Idol champ sympathized with Kyle's pain and shared her own embarrassing incident with skintight leather pants on the set of one of her music videos.
She recalled wearing the outfit as she filmed the "Since U Been Gone" video and, upon following director Alex de Rakoff's directions for a dance move, her pants instantly ripped.
"And I was commando," she added to further establish how drastic the situation was, although commented that she was able to laugh at the situation.
Fans left the comments section of the clip on social media with praise for the duo's costumes, with responses like: "'And I was commando!' Story of my life. That 'Since U Been Gone' story will live in my mind rent free! National treasure Kelly Brianne, everybody!" and: "Kelly looks FANTASTIC in this costume. Slayyyyyyyyyy you beautiful Queen!!!" as well as: "OMG We need weekly outtakes."
