It’s been revealed that Clarkson and her former mother in law Reba McEntire had to play nice on The Voice set. Apparently, the two had to pretend like they were close while filming the two rounds. According to a source, McEntire was had been involving herself in Clarkson’s divorce. For those who may not know, McEntire’s son is Clarkson’s ex-husband Brandon Blackstock.
“They have to play nice for the cameras, but things are really tense between them,” the source claimed. “Reba’s got it in her head that Kelly should take Brandon back, which has really upset Kelly.”
Clarkson and Blackstock ended their sour and distressing divorce back in 2022. The singer was awarded primary custody of their two children. Nonetheless, Clarkson still had to pay Blackstock a $1.3 million settlement and child support of $45,000 a month.
“For some reason, Reba just can’t accept that it’s over,” the source said.
McEntire was formerly married to Blackstock’s father, she allegedly maintained close ties with him. This relationship has reportedly triggered the country singer to share her unsolicited sentiments as regards the issue.
The unknown source also claimed that McEntire has a “soft spot” for her stepson. Clarkson is thus reportedly annoyed with the way that she is interfering with her family situation.
“Reba has this delusional hope Brandon and Kelly could work things out,” the source said. “She thinks it would be better for the kids. Kelly’s not having any of it.”

Reba was only his stepmother, and she's not even that anymore.
The episode of "Reba" (the sitcom) where Kelly guest-starred (as a rival weather girl to Stormy Clearweather) was on Hallmark this morning.

Her ex-stepson was emulating his father in pursuing an insecure but talented celebrity he could financially exploit. If anything, the splits probably brought Kelly and Reba closer together.

For what it's worth, Reba and Kelly still follow each other on Instagram.
Neither follow Kelly's ex/Reba's ex-stepson.

Why would anyone work with their mother-in-law?
(I know nothing about the timing of any of this. Perhaps they were on The Voice before the marriage?)

Reba and Kelly were friends before she married Brandon. She met him through Reba and fell in love and got married. Reba and Kelly were close before that and are still close. There is no tension.

Not a word of OP's post is true.
Reba and Kelly have deep ties and strong bonds. Those who know anything about either one of them - know what's true.
Reba sang a duet with Kelly as far back as Kelly's winning night on American Idol. They have recorded and toured TOGETHER. Reba and Narville and Blake Shelton were all there for Kelly's night at The Troubadour, over 12 years ago.
Reba and Kelly did a CrossRoads together. It was fantastic if you haven't seen it.
Kelly's husband didn't just cheat on her. His betrayals are epic and indefensible. Reba is her second mother. Then and especially NOW.
Stop the nonsensical lies.

Reba is 28 years older than Kelly. In 2008 they did this great gift of a tour, dueting and singing each other's songs. Kelly didn't need Reba for ticket sales. They LOVE one another.

Reba doesn't look like Miss Piggy. Pigs have lips.
Anyway, Kelly was hoarse as fuck this night - but skinny and pretty. Their bond goes way back.
I know for a fact that nothing has changed in their relationship R12. Reba is far more liberal than commonly known, but she keeps relatively quiet on controversial subjects. Kelly called Trump disgusting back in 2016 and endorsed Hillary. She sang at Obama's second inauguration and cutely hugged him and whispered - I voted for you!
Reba is country and more careful. She was married more than 25 years to her husband and manager Narville. Narville was also Kelly's manager. Kelly married Narville's son Brandon - who later became Kelly's manager. He managed her allright. Everything about her. Yikes. Brandon was also the manager of Blake Shelton - one of Kelly and Reba's best friends. Blake FIRED Brandon as his manager when the truth about his personal and legal dishonesty came to light.
Kelly could bury her exhusband with all the dirty business and personal theivery he's done to her. Releasing a break-up revenge album is a BAD idea in my opinion though. She's not Beyonce. Kelly is THE best vocalist of our time. But she needs much better recorded material.
She is an everyday prescence now and far more afraid to speak up. This album will not be deep enough to be seen as much more than passive aggressive.
But damn the girl can SING.

This was a bit annoying - but it's a moment in time. She's a nice woman, Kelly Clarkson. Genuine. Even JLo shed a tear. Poor Kelly was hugely pregnant & HUGE with all this plus emotion were pressing down on her breathing. She wrote this song - It's simplistic but viral memorable because of her total break during this performance. The song is about her father abandoning her and her husband's love restoring her. OUCH. Also the second to last show of American Idol. Kelly was gracious enough to return and show appreciation. Always.
She waited a long time to marry. Her husband publically and privately shamed her and cost her about 40 million dollars. so far. He announced he is out of managing people or living in L.A. because he is now a rancher. Thanks Kelly. He intends to make your life hell and use the children against you forever. $$$
Kelly is not the first one to suffer this kind of betrayal. But she may be the richest. The album will get some attention.
But Reba is on her side. Reba and Kelly attended Blake and Gwen Stefani's wedding. Brandon Blackstock was not invited.

Whether the sorry is true or not, it's nice to read that Reba isn't anti-Kelly. Maybe she wants Kelly and her stepson to reunite? It's not like she's taken her stepson's side and is treating Kelly like a bitch (I can't imagine Reba even doing that). She still seems to love and support her.
by Anonymous | reply 20 | April 10, 2023 3:03 AM |
No one who knows anything about this would want, expect or encourage Kelly to reunite with her exhusband. It will never happen. Brandon got what he wanted from her. Kelly hates him. Rightfully so.
That's why the story is so obviously false. It's not even sourced. Stupid. Reba just doesn't want the laundry all out. But she and Kelly are the closest of friends.
Reba and Narville have a son of their own, Shelby. He's 33. She has three step-children from her ex husband.
Kelly has Drag Race Queens on her talk show and interviews them by name. Kelsea Ballerini just performed LIVE at the CMA awards with Manilla Luzon, Kennedy Davenport, Jantasy and Alyssa Edwards on stage with her.
Reba has come out against this frightening foolishness too. Timidly, but sure.
Kelly and Reba are women to support. Kelly's husband was garbage but she's not a good picker either.
Kelly Clarkson is the best singer in the game. She has been for over a decade now. Period.

Allegedly. Kelly has been mega-obsessed with Reba since she was a little girl, Reba was her idol. It’s awfully convenient that she just happened to fall in “love” with Reba’s single stepson, out of the 9B people on this planet. “We’re really family now!”
This is some Single White Female shit.
I think Kelly is maniacal with massive Daddy issues. She’s passive-aggressively destructive. She seems the type to secretly tip the first domino then point the finger of blame when they all collapse. Personal accountability is not on the menu. I’d be scared to know her personally.
Reba respects her ex and didn’t want the divorce, even after hearing about the affair. Reba knows her ex was the Svengali that took her to the next level in her career. Everyone in Nashville knows Narvel is brilliant and an innovator, he’s the Desi to her Lucy. All the big ideas in the 90s that made Reba hit her peak… that was almost all Narvel. They have a son together and Reba had no intention of ruining Narvel’s reputation.
On the other hand, Kelly is allegedly messy millennial bitch, who has tried to smear her ex, and has done so successfully, as the fatalistic millennials do. She allegedly ruined him professionally. Kelly used the fact that they were paid on a deal in California, although they weren’t licensed entertainment agents there as if they were fraudsters. It was basically a courtesy payment for coordinating or finding the deal, she milked and spun that for all it was worth.
She paid up the big bucks and will continue to, because the judge saw through what she was trying to do. Allegedly.

r22 Not really. Kelly had talked about Reba being the only person she would get star stuck over. Reba was flattered and took her under her wing after she won Idol. She helped Kelly get out from 19 management and Clive Davis who treated her like a throwaway artist. Reba';s husband's management took her and they moved her career along. Reba also encouraged Kelly to date her stepson. Little did she know daddy and his kid were cut from the same cloth. Reba still is close with Kelly and her step grandkids to this day.

There is bad blood between Kelly and Clive. It was never exactly a secret. It was reingited when he published his autobiography. LIES, Kelly said.
Reba is the second best selling female country artist of all time. She needs Clive Davis for nothing.

R27 *THE BEST SELLING COUNTRY FEMALE ARTIST OF ALL TIME
Shania and that pop dreck she turned out after The Woman in Me, excluding a few ballads, was NOT country. Shania is a pop artist. We might as well call Taylor Swift the best selling country act.

Kelly is a pretty good songwriter. A gorgeous singer. This song was written (allegedly) about her ex-husband. It's sad but not bitter.
Some of the best albums of all time have been written from the personal theme of a broken heart or lost love.
It would be nice to see Kelly Clarkson enjoy BIG chart success again - instead of just being the best damn (cover) singer in the world.

Reba and Kelly are a much closer duo than Simon & Garfunkel, Tammy & George, Loretta & Conway or Ike and Tina.
What a willfully ignorant question R32. Your assinine inference sounds like Janbot feeling jealous again.
Reba is not your ordinary country musician. She triumphed as an eponymous TV sitcom star, country music superstar, awards show hostess, Entertainer of the year record breaking touring act AND was a thrilling Broadway success. Her talent matched her ambitions. She is one of the best female voices in all music for the last 40 years.
Kelly is the more gifted singer and versatile vocalist. No longer underrated. She is as great as THE trinity. Reba recorded Kelly's most famous song as the first single off her Duets album. When Reba was 52 and Kelly was 25. It's not better than Clarkson's version - but they work so well together.
They are real singers and people. Not manufactured talents. They get more press speculation than they want. But not as much as some others crave.
