Because of Kelly Clarkson<\/a><\/strong>, we’ve never been more excited for tonight!<\/p>\n

We’re just hours away from the start of the 2019 Billboard Music Awards<\/a> at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. While there are more than a few reasons to tune in, seeing Kelly host and perform<\/a> may be on the top of our list.<\/p>\n

The “Love So Soft” singer chatted with E! News on the red carpet before the show and talked about hosting the second year in a row and how she planned (or didn’t) for it.<\/p>\n

“I’m not really a planner,” Clarkson told Jason Kennedy. “I mean I rehearse enough and you do well sometimes and sometimes you don’t. Hoping for the best!”<\/p>\n

She also said she’s fulfilling one of her “childhood dreams” tonight at the show.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

When asked what she’s most looking forward to, Clarkson said, “Childhood dream. I get to talk after Mariah Carey<\/a><\/strong> was onstage. She’s doing this whole icon thing and I’m pretty stoked about that.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Clarkson is working on a new album and she shared a few special details about it.<\/p>\n

“It’s always changing so I hate to be so final about the sound and everything,” she told E! News. “It is a little more Meaning of Life<\/em>, like if Breakaway <\/em>and Stronger<\/em> had a baby.”<\/p>\n

She added, “It’s a little bit of pop and still got the soulful stuff in there. I was just in a different mood. It’s really good. I’m excited about it.”<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, Kelly also sat down<\/a> with E! News’ Erin Lim<\/a><\/strong> to share just how excited she was over the show.<\/p>\n

“This is a pretty miraculous event for me, especially for my generation of people,” she explained. “Mariah Carey<\/strong> is going to be there, Madonna<\/a><\/strong>, Paula Abdul<\/a><\/strong>. There are just a lot of icons from my childhood performing at this specific Billboard. I’m really glad I said yes just so I could be there\u2014and possibly get a picture.”<\/p>\n

And unlike last year where Kelly was too busy to snap a selfie with Janet Jacket<\/strong>, this Voice<\/em> judge is hoping for no regrets tonight in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
