Kelly Clarkson Recalled Having A Major Wardrobe Malfunction While On Tour, And I Wasn’t Expecting It To Top Katy Perry’s American Idol Snafu

by

Almost everyone has memories of times when they’ve felt awkward or embarrassed due to various reasons, including wardrobe mishaps, which can happen to anyone. However, these incidents can become especially noteworthy if they occur in public, as was the case for Kelly Clarkson, a renowned celebrity who recently shared an instance where she experienced a significant wardrobe malfunction while on tour several years ago. This tale is quite intriguing – and it turns out to be even more awkward than the incident involving Katy Perry that made headlines.

What Happened To Kelly Clarkson When She Went On Tour?

During the 2025 TV lineup, Nick Jonas and Adrienne Warren made an appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show to chat about their Broadway production, The Last Five Years. In this interview, Jonas shared an embarrassing incident where he tore his pants during a rehearsal for the play. This prompted Clarkson to reminisce about her own wardrobe mishap, which she humorously recounted in a video posted on YouTube, detailing an incident involving a skirt.

During my tour performance, an unexpected incident occurred involving my skirt – the clip gave way and the skirt fell off along with me. To elaborate, I wasn’t wearing anything underneath the long skirt, and when it slipped, I had to react quickly. Fortunately, the details of what followed aren’t suitable for general audiences, so let’s just say I was quite surprised by the turn of events. As you can imagine, this occurred during the one night without any backup – talk about bad timing! I dropped to the floor almost instantly, retrieved my skirt, and someone had to rush offstage. All in all, it was a rather unfortunate event that happened live on stage.

The level of second-hand cringe I’m experiencing from this story is unbelievable! It’s hard for me to fathom being in such a position myself, given that I don’t typically wear skirts and I’m not a globally recognized singer like Kelly Clarkson. Interestingly, she’s had similar experiences before. In 2023, during one of her concerts, there was a wardrobe malfunction with her outfit, as the top was somewhat exposed. Consequently, she paused the band to rectify the issue before resuming her performance.

Regarding the incident, I’d argue that the Grammy winner dealt gracefully with the breast-related matter and, under the circumstances, did her utmost to manage the skirt situation as well. To me, it’s astonishing how this event surpassed even Katy Perry’s notoriety.

How Did Katy Perry’s Wardrobe Issue Play Out On American Idol?

After leaving American Idol, Katy Perry left a lasting impression with several memorable instances. One such instance took place during Season 20 when she spontaneously performed her popular song “Teenage Dream.” In the midst of this performance, she accidentally split the back of her red leather pants. Luke Bryan and others swiftly helped by offering some yellow tape. You can revisit this televised moment in the video below:

That American Idol moment was definitely one of the most awkward ones ever; it’s quite ironic since it happened while she was singing a song with lyrics about ‘skin-tight jeans.’ However, she dealt with it gracefully and even had a lighthearted exchange with Luke Bryan on social media afterwards.

Stars deal with wardrobe malfunctions in numerous ways due to their diversity, with many singers addressing them delicately and elegantly. For instance, Jennifer Lopez became famous in 2022 when a tear occurred in her bodysuit during a performance, but she carried on singing. Similarly, Taylor Swift experienced an issue with her in-ears in 2024, which led her to remove part of her dress on stage during a concert. However, swiftly thinking Swift turned the situation into a charming interactive moment for her audience.

As a cinema enthusiast, I must admit that wardrobe malfunctions aren’t exactly my idea of a good time. But hats off to the incredible ladies like Kelly Clarkson and Katy Perry for handling such situations with grace and professionalism. In fact, these unexpected moments might even offer them some amusing tales to share in the future!
