It’s almost time for the 2019 Billboard Music Awards.<\/p>\n

Kelly Clarkson<\/a><\/strong> is returning as host for the second year in a row<\/a>. As fans will recall, the three-time Grammy winner pulled out all of the stops for last year’s show. From her epic performances<\/a> to her incredible fashion ensembles<\/a>, the “Since U Been Gone” star gave viewers plenty of memorable moments. <\/p>\n

Of course, this came as no surprise. Clarkson has been capturing fans’ hearts ever since her American Idol<\/em> days over a decade ago. While she became famous for her vocals, Clarkson has also been applauded for always keeping it real. In fact, many of her best moments are her candid ones.<\/p>\n

Who could forget when she totally fangirled<\/a> over meeting Meryl Streep<\/a><\/strong> at the 2018 Golden Globe Awards, or when she was overcome with emotion during her raw performance of “Piece by Piece?”<\/p>\n

To see more of her best candid moments, check out the gallery below:<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

A Moment Like This<\/h3>\n

After the singer was crowned the first winner of American Idol<\/em> back in 2002, she gave a tearful and emotional performance of her single “A Moment Like This.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

An Emotional First Grammys Win<\/h3>\n

Just four years later, Clarkson won her first Grammy for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance for “Since U Been Gone.” The young star was overcome with emotion upon accepting the award. “Oh God! Yeah, I’m terrible at speaking when I cry. So, sorry!” she said. “Thank you so much. Ah!” Clarkson also took home the trophy in the Best Pop Vocal Album category for Breakaway<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

A Brutally Honest Review<\/h3>\n

Not everyone was a fan of From Justin to Kelly<\/em>\u2014including Clarkson.<\/p>\n

“It wasn’t something I ever wanted to do,” she told Radio.com in 2015. “It’s like something in your life that you had to literally do\u2014like, contractually, I had to do it or, I mean, I would be sued, like, which is what I was told. So, you know, I just went along with it, and I did the best that I could make of it. I think I’m such a fan of true artists, like true actors in that sense, that it’s almost offensive for people to just hop into a movie and think they can be an actor.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

A Raw Performance<\/h3>\n

In 2016, Clarkson returned to American Idol<\/em> to sing “Piece by Piece.” The singer was overcome with emotion during the raw performance and led several of the judges to tear up, as well. <\/p>\n

“Sorry! Super pregnant and hormonal,” she told the crowd, who gave the artist a standing ovation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

An Unforgettable Meeting<\/h3>\n

During a 2016 interview with Seth Meyers<\/strong>, the “Beautiful Disaster” artist recalled her first meeting with Barack Obama<\/strong>\u2014and how she totally botched his name. The incident took place before Obama’s presidency, back when he was still a senator. Clarkson had been invited to speak in front of the senate and introduce Obama, who had recently won a Grammy in the Best Spoken Word Album category for Dreams From My Father<\/em>.<\/p>\n

“I get up there and, like, complete panic sets in because I cannot remember what that fake Grammy is called. I cannot remember, like, what the book is…and I cannot remember his name, but I am pretty sure it rhymes with Osama,” she told the Late Night<\/em> host.<\/p>\n

Still, it looks like Obama wasn’t too upset over Clarkson’s faux pas. He even had her perform at his 2012 presidential inauguration (as shown in the photo).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

A Romantic Date<\/h3>\n

During a 2017 episode of “Carpool Karaoke,” James Corden<\/strong> surprised the “Stronger” star by bringing her hubby Brandon<\/strong> Blackstock<\/strong> along for an impromptu date. Between the champagne toasts and romantic music, the two couldn’t stop laughing.<\/p>\n

“I feel like we’re making a porn,” he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

A Little Sex Talk<\/h3>\n

Clarkson isn’t afraid to talk about the birds and the bees. During a 2016 interview with Redbook<\/em>, Clarkson said her marriage to Blackstock isn’t a “relationship where we have to schedule sex.”<\/p>\n

“We put each other first,” she added. “I call it the oxygen-mask mentality\u2014take care of yourself first!”<\/p>\n

She also opened up about the subject on The View<\/em>.<\/p>\n

“We’re going to be bad parents if we’re not sexually pleased and we’re not, like, having a good life,” she explained. “That’s going to bleed into other things, and you’ve got to have a great life,” she said on the show. “I’m sorry\u2014I’ve painted an image. You’re welcome\u2026.People don’t realize, like, sex is a very key part of a relationship. I mean, I have friends\u2014I don’t need another friend.” <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

A True Fangirl<\/h3>\n

The 2018 Golden Globes was a memorable night for Clarkson, partly because she got to meet Meryl Streep<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

“Oh my God! Can I meet you?” Clarkson said after spotting the Oscar winner on the red carpet. “Can I meet you? I’m such a fan! I’ve loved everyone. I’ve just adored you since I was like 8.”<\/p>\n

Of course, the actress said hello to Clarkson and tenderly stroked her cheek.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

A Little Day Drinking<\/h3>\n

During a 2018 episode of Late Night<\/em>, Clarkson and Meyers did a little day drinking. The two took shots, made each other drinks and, naturally, did some singing\u2014making for one hilarious afternoon.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

A Pepper for a Good Cause<\/h3>\n

In February 2018, Clarkson participated in the ALS Pepper Challenge. However, the habanero proved to be a little too spicy for the artist.<\/p>\n

“My tongue is on fire!” she said, later shedding a few tears.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
