Kelly Clarkson<\/a><\/strong> just redefined the old saying, “The show must go on!”<\/p>\n

A rep for the pop star tells E! News that the pop singer is “doing great” after undergoing surgery to remove her appendix on Thursday morning. After hosting<\/a> last night’s 2019 Billboard Music Awards<\/a> (and showing absolutely no signs of discomfort), Clarkson flew back to Los Angeles from Las Vegas for the procedure. <\/p>\n

Kelly later took to Twitter to recount the admittedly terrifying experience, while also giving thanks to her hard-working team.<\/p>\n

“Not gonna lie,” the American Idol<\/em> alum tweeted<\/a>. “I may or may not have broken down in tears after the show from pain. BUT thanks 2 all the amazing people @ Cedars-Sinai I flew home directly after the event, nailed the surgery early this morning, & feeling awesome now! Bye bye appendix.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Kelly then gave a sweet shout out to husband Brandon Blackstock<\/strong>, as well as her glam squad, photographer, assistant and more.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Before taking the stage inside the MGM Grand Arena, Kelly told E! News exclusively<\/a> that she’d be fulfilling her “childhood dream” by hosting the star-studded event. <\/p>\n

“This is a pretty miraculous event for me, especially for my generation of people,” she previously shared. “Mariah Carey<\/a><\/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<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Wishing Kelly a speedy recovery!<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
