Kelly Clarkson stole the spotlight at the annual Rockefeller Center tree lighting ceremony on November 29, 2023, revealing a stunning transformation through her remarkable weight loss. The 41-year-old former judge of "The Voice" and host of "The Kelly Clarkson Show" exuded confidence in a beautiful white coat with faux fur accents, showcasing a fitted silhouette cinched at the waist. This dazzling appearance marked a significant moment for Clarkson, who has embraced her new role as a fixture in New York City since relocating her talk show from Los Angeles for its fifth season. The show, taped at Rockefeller Center, has solidified her connection with the iconic venue. Expressing her excitement about the move, Clarkson stated, “I’m so excited to consider this city and Rockefeller Center my new home, and I can’t imagine a better way to kick off Christmas this year than to be a part of this beautiful New York tradition with the lighting of the tree.” Beyond hosting duties, Clarkson took the stage to perform several holiday classics, drawing from her extensive discography that includes Christmas albums like 2013's "Wrapped in Red" and 2021's "When Christmas Comes Around." Having first graced the Christmas in Rockefeller Center stage in 2003, a year after winning the inaugural season of "American Idol," Clarkson has become synonymous with this festive tradition. Throughout 2023, fans have marveled at Clarkson's visible weight loss, with the singer confidently showcasing her toned figure in a variety of stylish outfits on her talk show. During the November 7 episode, she candidly addressed her weight loss journey while discussing throwback photos with guests Jenna Bush Hager and Barbara Bush. Clarkson humorously mentioned the challenges of finding well-fitting jeans post-weight loss, acknowledging it as a "first-world problem" and a positive aspect of her new figure.
