June 9, 2023

In 97 Words·Kelly Clarkson·Music·Reviews

Ever-proud Texan Kelly Clarkson takes us through the Wild Wild West en route to post-divorce “high road livin'” on the latest offering from “chemistry.” Of the five songs released so far, “red flag collector” by far has the most sting. Where last week’s “i hate love” was bittersweet, “red flag collector” is triumphantly bitter. Sprinkled with just enough “yeehaw”-inducing musical

These days, it’s rather uncommon to see some of the biggest names together for a hot feature. Sure, Taylor Swift’s “Bad Blood” video had a guest verse from Kendrick and a host of cameo performances, and Madonna called together her friends and their blank walls for “Bitch I’m Madonna.” Considering
