Body language expert Jess Ponce III noticed that Kelly Clarkson "touched her face and fixed her hair" and gave off a sense that she was ready for whatever was going to come at her when Andy Cohen mentioned there was a fan question. Then, Clarkson's body language changed. "The moment she hears Carrie's name she is intent on clarifying their relationship, or rather their non-existent relationship. She is clearly defensive with sharp, animated arm gestures and quickly clarifies that she feels people too often try to pit them against one another. You can clearly see has definite feelings surrounding this rumor," Ponce tells Nicki Swift.
Despite the fact that Clarkson was "clearly embarrassed," Ponce notes that she had a really good attitude about the misunderstanding, even joking around a bit when she got up and went to the bar on set. "Literally she was seeking refuge. At the same time she was skillfully changing the mood by laughing at herself and the situation," Ponce says, adding, "Kelly, who is known for being raw and honest, gave us exactly that — her true feelings. She initially assumed the question was about a potential feud between her and Carrie and her reaction to that assumption was strong. She doesn't like talking about it. You can tell by her immediate response." We totally get it — no one likes to be caught off-guard.
