Kelly Clarkson explains the wink driving lesbians wild and says she'd go for an 'older woman'
More than a month after Kelly Clarkson left Sapphics and straight women alike in shambles, the singer-turned-talk show host is finally explaining the wink people couldn't stop talking about. On Wednesday's episode of The Kelly Clarkson Show, guest Whitney Cummings playfully took over hosting duties when she grilled Clarkson on her drool-worthy rendition of The Outfield's 'Your Love,' which had lesbians weak in the knees and straight women questioning their sexuality. In the Kellyoke moment that went viral on TikTok back in February, Clarkson sings the lyrics, 'You know I like my girls a little bit older,' and offers the audience a flirty wink. If you somehow missed the moment, we suggest checking it out pronto! Don't worry, we'll wait. That wink though. #kellyclarkson #fyp #trendingvideo Taking over Clarkson's role on the show, Cummings pointed out just how earth-shattering her rendition of the song was to women on social media, 'Do you know that your cover of 'Lose Your Love' has broken the internet?' When Clarkson admits she found out it 'blew up' from her show's musical director. 'Blew up? No, no women are leaving their husbands,' Cummings announced to a cheering audience. - YouTube 'So I heard it's because of the wink,' Clarkson said while playfully winking at the comedian. 'Don't wink at me Kelly! She just winked at me. I'm not strong enough!' Cummings responded before explaining the viral moment to the audience by saying, 'She winks at the camera like a home-wrecker!' Clarkson said she started adding winks into performances to 'be cute and playful with the audience' so she started more and more. 'So now I incorporate like a wink here and there. But I happened to do it on a line that — it was on purpose. It was cute,' she explained. 'It was a cute line and if I was a lesbian, I would shoot for an older woman, I'm just saying,' Clarkson said, giving sapphics everywhere hope.

Sapphics Provided Much-Needed Bright Spots This Week

We've reached the end of another week. But before we clock out for the weekend, we're giving credit where it's due. Sapphics are the latest champions in our Winner of the Week series. Amid the many horrors, a few bright spots shine. These beacons of hope, these lighthouses promising safe harbor… are called lesbians. Thank you, lesbians. As Billy Eichner once said: let's go, lesbians! Seriously, we'd be lost without the sapphics right now. Gabby Windey and Robby Hoffman kicked off the year by getting surprise-married in Vegas, deciding to tie the knot as they fled the devastating Los Angeles wildfires. (They kept the news a secret until this week.) All products featured on Glamour are independently selected by Glamour editors.

Celebrity News Gabby Windey and Robby Hoffman Got Married in a Secret Las Vegas Ceremony The couple had just evacuated from the LA fires. 'My dream is coming true. I want to be married to her—I don't care how,' Hoffman recently told Cosmopolitan of their somewhat spur-of-the-moment plan, which culminated in a walk down the aisle to 'HOT TO GO!' by Chappell Roan (more on her in a sec). 'I just love being with Robby, so knowing that I got her one-on-one to celebrate this beautiful night, I could cry. It was joy,' said Windey. I could cry too, Gabby. Also walking the hall of sapphic power coupledom are Julien Baker and Lucy Dacus of Boygenius, who are officially, publicly, official, as of March 18. 'From us to you, we are in love,' Dacus told People after months of speculation. She's also got a new album out that, for the first time, uses female pronouns instead of the ambiguous 'you' to describe the love interest in her music, an openness that Dacus describes as 'intimidating' but is also so lovely. It's a trajectory that Chappell Roan can certainly relate to, which brings us to the biggest gift the givers have given us: 'The Giver.' Yes, living and loving vicariously through our favorite couples is a time-honored tradition, but other people's joy isn't actually ours to borrow. Their music, on the other hand? Inject it straight into my veins. All products featured on Glamour are independently selected by Glamour editors.

New Here From the Donut Shop to a World Tour: Chappell Roan Is Doing Pop Her Way "I haven't even written my best song yet," the singer-songwriter tells *Glamour*. Though her album The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess was everywhere last year, it was actually a 2023 release; the one and only song Roan put out in 2024 was the anthemic 'Good Luck, Babe!,' a defiant and rollicking piece of pop about a queer woman in denial. For 2025, the vibe is a bit different. 'The Giver' skips right over the to-come-out-or-not-to-come-out-that-is-the question and gets to the point. 'I just think a lesbian country song is really funny, so I wrote that,' said Roan. Happy Women's History Month indeed. Alexa, play the trailer for The Wedding Banquet! With queer rights (and, let's be real, human rights) in a precarious position politically, we won't be so bold as to say that the joy of a few is evidence of some national sea change. But this art, these relationships, this moment can be a form of connection, escapism, maybe even therapy at a time when that's exactly what we need. Positive representation of women in love with each other is something to celebrate. And it is progress. Twenty-five years ago we had the performative (i.e., fake) queerness of t.A.T.u., the misunderstood Britney-Madonna kiss, the questionable lessons of Chasing Amy. Fifteen years ago, naughty novelty fueled Katy Perry's 'I Kissed A Girl.' In 2025, is queerness totally normalized? Depends where you are. But at least if there's a girl on stage singing or talking about being in love with another girl, it's because she actually is. Originally Appeared on Glamour
