KELLY Clarkson has wreaked havoc with her latest habit, which involves her exposing her bare feet around others at NBC.
The host of The Kelly Clarkson Show has been blurring the line between comfort and professionalism, according to new sources.
Workers have been complaining that Kelly, 42, has been airing out her smelly feet at NBC, which has not been pleasant to be around.
An insider recently told the National Enquirer that “Kelly’s barefoot habit has become a hot topic behind the scenes.”
“It’s not just about hygiene, it’s about maintaining a certain image,” they said, adding, “You wouldn’t catch anyone else flaunting bare feet inside NBC, but SHE gets away with it.”
The source said Kelly’s objective is to create a comfortable, chill environment for her audience, making them feel at home.
They elaborated, “She wants viewers to feel at home, like they can just kick off their own shoes and relax along with her.”
While another insider confirmed the Since U Been Gone hitmaker only takes her shoes off on set, she still opts to perform barefoot at times.
“She’s not traipsing around the entire building without shoes — but there’s definitely tension brewing over this,” they added.
“The clash between professionalism and casual comfort is real!”
LET IT ALL OUT
Earlier this year, Kelly made a naughty confession along the same lines during a segment on her daytime talk show.
While playing a wild round of the game Most Likely To, Kelly admitted that she’s gone skinny dipping “a lot.”
Kelly Clarkson’s weight loss journey
“I love being naked,” the singer confessed. “I’ve done streaking too. Being naked is fun.”
The admittance comes as Kelly has undergone a major body transformation over the past year.
The American Idol winner had lost nearly 60 pounds, which now has her feeling confident to re-enter the dating pool.
An insider recently told OK! Magazine that her weight loss has Kelly feeling “better than ever,” adding that she is “open to dating in the future.”
“Her divorce did a number on her, and she is not in a rush to be in a serious relationship again, but Kelly is ready to have some fun.
“Kelly’s lost around 50 pounds [and] it’s encouraged her to dress a lot more youthfully and try different trends,” the source added.
You wouldn’t catch anyone else flaunting bare feet inside NBC, but SHE gets away with it.”

DATING LIFE UPDATES
Earlier this week, Kelly spoke with actress Tiffany Haddish on her show and gave an update on her current dating status.
Kelly first said that she finds it “awkward” to talk on dates, alluding to the fact that she hasn’t dated much in the past.
“Maybe I just haven’t done it enough,” she said.
Tiffany then added that it’s important for Kelly to check out the hygiene of her potential partner, joking that by date number three she should also know their credit score.
Kelly filed for divorce from her ex, Brandon Blackstock, in 2020 after nearly seven years of marriage.
While their divorce was settled in 2022, the two are set to go to trial this summer over commissions Brandon allegedly took from the gigs he secured for Kelly as her manager.
Kelly and her ex share a daughter, River Rose, 9, and a son, Remington Alexander, 7.
