Kelly Clarkson's Powerful Lyric Change To 'Piece By Piece' After Her Divorce Has Fans Cheering

The singer made an empowering change to her personal song for her Las Vegas residency following her divorce from Brandon Blackstock.

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 Idolwinner 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.”

You can watch the original versus the new lyrics below.
