"Kids say the darnedest things" is a popular phrase for a reason, and while it might not have the same ring, maybe we need to change "kids" to "entertainment managers"?
While doing her Las Vegas residency, Kelly Clarkson mixed her most iconic songs with audience interactions and stories of things that have happened during her career.
There were some doozies—including a brief and blunt conversation Clarkson had with an ex-manager, whom she did not name.
Allegedly, the ex-manager wanted her to "improve upon" herself, but she had the perfect response ready.
"I had some d**k manager one time tell me to get a boob job."
"So I was like, 'Why don't you get a d**k job?'"
"Like, what? I'm fine with my itty-bitty titties! Get out of here."
Clarkson revealed that she felt this was a problem across the industry.
"Who says that s**t? People say that s**t. They say it all the time to people in the industry."
"They say the craziest s**t. I'm like, 'This is not normal. You've normalized crazy.'"
She also encouraged everyone to do what was right for them.
"Do you. Don't make me do you."
"I like my itty-bitty titties. They've served me well."

When the performance grew popular on Twitter (X), fans were quick to applaud Clarkson for the clapback.
But over in the "Fauxmoi" subReddit, Redditors were saddened that this was a conversation she even had to have.
"What is it with men and suggesting surgeries so casually like it’s something we can order from a McD drive-thru?" -depressedbananaslug
"Queen s**t." -Lenu92
"That's a bunch of bulls**t. I mean, people need to get a grip, nobody should be telling anyone how to live their life." -ShakeDatApp
"Good lord, this woman has really been done dirty in her life, and she's done nothing but bring us fantastic pop songs and terrible highlights. I feel for her." -HallWild5495
"I literally saw her say this live, how funny. She's so charismatic and an amazing performer." -danniybarra
It's entertaining and fitting that such a talented singer and TV host had such a blunt clapback for her ex-manager, but it's unfortunate that she even needed to have such a response ready.
If a person decides to alter their body, it should be something they choose for themselves, not forced on them to make them more successful or popular.
