Kelly Clarkson was not afraid to rock the boat while she was competing on American Idol. The Grammy Award-winning artist revealed that she once “got in trouble” for refusing to wear makeup when they were filming her for “behind-the-scenes” content.
Clarkson made the revelation on the most recent episode of Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes and Will Arnett‘s SmartLess podcast while reflecting on the first-ever season of the hit singing competition show.
“I got in trouble on American Idol,” she said. “They were like, ‘So, we’re about to be on camera.’ And I was like, ‘I know.’ And they were like, ‘But you’re gonna be on camera.’ And I was like, ‘I know.’”
According to the “Breakaway” singer, she didn’t feel the need to get all done up when she wasn’t performing onstage.
“[They were] like, ‘OK, well, do you want any makeup or hair?’ And I was like, ‘No, I’m in a house right now. You’re doing, like, behind the scenes,'” she recalled. “I was like, ‘I’m not on stage.’ I was like, ‘I’ll do it for stage, but why are we doing this now?'”
Clarkson’s stubbornness when it came to having her hair and makeup done eventually made her some on-set enemies, she claimed.
“One producer in particular, very high up, was not a fan of me just because I didn’t play that game,” she said. “And it wasn’t even playing a game. The other four girls that season were very into that stuff. They were very into it.”
The singer later went on to win the season, scoring a record deal that made her one of the most famous pop stars — and now daytime television hosts — of this generation. After winning American Idol, Clarkson went on tour with the other finalists, noting that she was “the most amazing person to tour with” because she was “never in the makeup and hair chair.”
“They would have to force me to sit there,” she said, adding that she “doesn’t enjoy” wearing makeup because she’s “highly allergic” to anything that “gets near [her] eyes.”
Nowadays, fans can catch Clarkson hosting The Kelly Clarkson Show when it airs on weekdays. Check the website for local listings.
