Video Of The Day: Kelly Clarkson Confirms What We All Suspected—That Wink Was No Accident
The singer and daytime host knew exactly what she was doing when she flirted with every woman in America.
Kelly Clarkson fans come in every shape, size and sexual orientation, but a recent Kellyoke performance particularly appealed to the sapphics among them. Back in February, the “Because of You” singer covered The Outfield’s “Your Love,” delivering a highly flirtatious wink that had lesbians, bisexuals and even straight women swooning. Clarkson finally addressed the moment on the air—and yes, she knew exactly what she was doing.

On a recent episode of The Kelly Clarkson Show, comedian Whitney Cummings took the reins to interrogate Clarkson about her internet-breaking performance. When Cummings explained just how deeply the wink had impacted women everywhere, Clarkson admitted she adds winks “to be cute and playful”—and then casually dropped that if she were into women, she’d go for an older one. A cynic might call this queer baiting, but Clarkson plays the moment with reverence and charm. Consider us baited.
