Though she was barely out of her teenage years at that point, Clarkson’s career immediately took off.
PerBillboard, she signed a record deal with Sony Music’s RCA Records after winning the show.
During her time with the label, seven of her albums hit the top slots on the Billboard 200.
She also nabbed three Grammys!
But despite her big wins, Clarkson left the label in 2016, as Billboard noted.
To date, the singer continues to reach new career highs.
As of 2021,ScreenRantreported that Clarkson has sold over 25 million albums worldwide.
But that’s not to say the multi hyphenate hasn’t suffered setbacks.
In 2020,Clarkson announced her split from then-husband Brandon Blackstock.
She’s also battled an autoimmune thyroid condition which resulted in weight gain.
“For me, it was ‘I’m not on my medicine any more.'”
Unsurprisingly, Clarkson looks just as good fresh-faced as she does all glammed up.
“I broke a nail.
I’m so broken.
This is me broken.
My almond milk just expired.
America, this is what I look like.
You’re welcome,” the star joked.
According toGood Housekeeping, the fresh-faced look earned her plenty of praise from fans.
