Kelly Clarkson: ‘I didn’t understand the gravity until I was pregnant’

She has accepted the fact that the relationship with her father will never be salvageable.

But Kelly Clarkson never realised how much of an emotional impact her absentee parent had on her until she became a mother.

‘I don’t think I knew how much that affected me until writing Piece By Piece,’ the 33-year-old singer revealed during On Air With Ryan Seacrest.

‘I definitely didn’t know how it would affect me like it does when I sing it live because that’s not fun,’ Kelly explained. ‘It’s awesome but it’s kind of sad that so many relate to this song.’

The hit song Piece by Piece that brought everyone to tears when she performed it live on American Idol was inspired by the difficult relationship with her dad, Stephen Clarkson.
