Kelly Clarkson just received the ultimate surprise for her birthday — a girls’ getaway! The talented singer, who turned 35 today, was completely taken aback when her friends organized a birthday scavenger hunt for her. The grand reveal involved a Scrabble anagram that spelled out the exciting news — and her reaction was absolutely delightful.
“Pack your bags. Wait, what?” she read aloud, puzzled.
“We’re going on a girls’ trip, but we’re not telling you where yet!” one of her friends chimed in.
“WHAT?!” Clarkson exclaimed, jumping up with joy. “I’m totally gonna cry!”
“That was the goal!” her friend laughed, revealing that her sister and mom would also be joining the fun, departing the very next night. Honestly, we couldn’t adore her friends more for this thoughtful gesture.
Who doesn’t love Kelly Clarkson? She embraces her body, candidly discusses motherhood, and isn’t fazed by mom-shaming. She exudes the relatable vibe that makes her the kind of friend we all want to have. But like many new moms, finding time for weekend getaways with friends can be challenging.
Clarkson is a mother of four, sharing her life with husband Brandon Blackstock. Together they have two kids, River Rose, age 2, and Remy, who just celebrated his first birthday. Clarkson is also a stepmom to Blackstock’s older children from a previous marriage. Clearly, she deserves some time for herself!
Every mother should have the opportunity to escape with friends. My closest pals and I have been taking an annual trip since our college days, reminiscing about the carefree times when we ruled the world with our music players and youthful spirits. We’ve supported each other through life’s ups and downs, including divorce, infertility, and the complexities of parenting. Our annual girls’ trip is where we reconnect, let loose, and share all the moments we’ve missed. These friendships are vital amid the chaos of everyday life.
With such a fantastic group of friends, we’re confident that no matter the destination, Clarkson will be surrounded by love and laughter — the perfect way to celebrate her special day.
