Kelly Clarkson sells music catalogue to investment firm
Kelly Clarkson has sold a portion of her music catalogue to an investment company. The 43-year-old pop star has decided to sell some of her most acclaimed and recognisable hits, including Since U Been Gone, Because of You, Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You), and Behind These Hazel Eyes, to HarbourView Equity Partners. Kelly said in a statement: "My music is such a huge part of my journey – not just professionally, but personally. Knowing these songs will continue to be heard and discovered by new generations means everything to me. I'm grateful to HarbourView for valuing and supporting this catalogue the way they do." HarbourView's investment strategy is focused on the music, sports, media and entertainment industries. And Sherrese Clarke, the founder and CEO of HarbourView Equity Partners, is thrilled to have struck a deal with Kelly. Sherrese explained: "Kelly Clarkson is a one-of-a-kind artist whose voice and songwriting have left a permanent mark on music and pop culture. In addition to her musical genius, Kelly is a multi-hyphenate in entertainment, which is very aligned with our platform at HarbourView which invests across the broad entertainment segment. "Her catalogue is filled with anthems that have defined moments for millions of people. We're thrilled to partner with Kelly and help ensure these songs continue resonating for decades to come." Kelly became the inaugural winner of American Idol back in 2002. However, the pop star recently claimed that she didn't realise American Idol was a TV show prior to auditioning. The chart-topping pop star said on the Not Gonna Lie podcast: "For all of us in that first season, we literally didn't ... I didn't even know it was a TV show until my third audition. "Like, we were literally trying to pay our bills. We're like, 'Oh, this might work. I might meet someone or whatever.' Nobody knew it was gonna amount to anything. "We were literally, like, kids - you know, 19 years old just trying to pay my electric bill y'all. You know, and afford the deductible on my car that was bashed in that I couldn't afford. So it was a different thing."

Kelly Clarkson's new look is so, so gay — and of course lesbians are spiraling
Kelly Clarkson's got a new hairdo and a spiffy new outfit to match, and lesbians are already going absolutely feral for the pics. The look was debuted in an Instagram promo video for the upcoming season of The Voice, where Clarkson will be returning as a judge after last working on the show in season 23. There's something about a new format, bringing back old winners to coach — blah, blah, blah. Honestly, any self-respecting queer woman stopped paying attention the moment Clarkson turned around in that chair. Between that new delectably messy haircut, a button up, and an unfastened bow tie around her neck, she looks like she could be body doubling for Brandi Carlile in a new music video and it is hitting all the right vibes. Let's go ahead and be clear about one thing. Clarkson has outright stated on more than one occasion that she's straight. And it's not our place to argue with people about their sexualities! But she is not remotely shy about catering to the lesbian gaze and we absolutely love her for it every time. Because Clarkson knows what she's doing. She embraces it. She embraces us. The American Idol alum is more than happy sing sapphic song after saphic song on her show. And while it's one thing to pull out music from Chappell Roan — arguably the biggest rising star in pop last year — it takes a whole other level of confidence to bust out some freaking t.A.T.u. in the year 2025. And even if/when Clarkson isn't baiting the lesbians on purpose, she doesn't act anything other than flattered when we're all lining up to smile stupidly at her all the same. That in and of itself basically earns her an army of queers ready to kneel and pledge allegiance to her in exchange for a single wink. So when she drops a look like the one she's got on in The Voice promo, well, you can imagine how sapphics on the internet have been reacting. "Okayyy Kelly Clarkson. I feel like this look will be a hit with the lesbians haha" "she's gonna show up with a 26 year old butch any time now I can FEEL it" "Respect to her. Whether that's her gig or not she knew she had to restore the balance that was greatly disturbed by tradwife jojo siwa" "i have been saying for a long time that i feel a kelly clarkson wlw arc is in our future. we're getting closer…" "i'd let kelly clarkson kick me in the throat as many times as she wanted to send tweet" This article originally appeared on Pride: Kelly Clarkson's new look is so, so gay — and of course lesbians are spiraling RELATED 36 times Kelly Clarkson has covered songs by Sapphic musicians on her show Kelly Clarkson explains the wink driving lesbians wild and says she'd go for an 'older woman' 'I like my girls a little bit older': Kelly Clarkson cover leaves Sapphics swooning
