Kelly Clarkson made some notable changes to her song "Piece by Piece" following her 2020 divorce from Brandon Blackstock after seven years of marriage—and fans at her Las Vegas residency took notice.

Videos of the Grammy winner performing the altered lyrics have gone viral, and fans are celebrating Clarkson's recognition of her own strength.


The OG American Idol winner wrote the 2015 song about her father who walked out on her family when Clarkson was just a child.

The original lyrics were:

“But piece by piece, he collected me up / Off the ground, where you abandoned things, yeah / Piece by piece, he filled the holes that you burned in me / At six years old.”

Viewers of her recent performance, though, noticed the singer replaced "he" with "I."

And those weren't the only changes.

What once was:

“He never walks away / He never asks for money / He takes care of me / He loves me"

Is now:

“I just walk away / when they ask for money / I take care of me / ’cause I love me.”

Nancy Mace Gets Blunt Civics Lesson After Claiming Every Muslim Elected Official Is A 'Trojan Horse'

South Carolina Republican Representative Nancy Mace was called out by CNN anchor Omar Jimenez for her lack of understanding of the First Amendment after she published a series of Islamophobic tweets, including one referring to every Muslim elected official in the country as a "Trojan horse."

Mace's posts came after Abdul El-Sayed won Michigan's Democratic primary for U.S. Senate. El-Sayed, a physician who campaigned on expanding healthcare access, strengthening the economy, and ending unconditional U.S. military aid to Israel, became the first progressive to win a statewide primary in a state carried by President Donald Trump in the 2024 election. He is set to face former Republican Congressman Mike Rogers in November.
