Transcript

00:00 Kelly Clarkson is breaking away from her signature style.

00:05 The Grammy winner is showing off her dramatic hair transformation on her daytime talk show,

00:11 debuting wispy, eye-grazing bangs.

00:23 In a November 13th clip, the Kelly Clarkson show shares on YouTube the "Since You've Been

00:29 Gone" singer looks like a refreshed version of herself, with her face-framing bangs and

00:35 effortless waves.

00:37 As Kelly shares several hilarious and heartwarming moments with guest Leslie Jones, fans couldn't

00:43 help but gush over the singer's epic makeover in the comments.

00:48 One fan writes, "Kelly looks so good wearing those bangs," while another adds, "Kelly in

00:54 New York came out with the bang."

00:58 But Kelly is no stranger to rocking bangs.

01:01 She actually sported a similar style in her 2012 music video for "Dark Side," featured

01:08 on her album, Stronger.

01:23 Although the American Idol alum didn't share the inspiration behind her recent transformation,

01:29 it's one of many bold choices the star has made in recent months.

01:34 Kelly recently moved her Emmy Award-winning daytime talk show to New York City after filming

01:39 in Los Angeles for several years.

01:43 Kelly opened up to USA Today about the move last month, saying, "I'll be real honest,

01:50 I thought I was making a horrible decision.

01:53 I knew I needed a fresh start and couldn't be in L.A. I really want it to be in Montana,

01:59 but you can't really do a show from there quite yet.

02:02 So I was like, the only other option would probably be New York."

02:07 Although the singer, who shares two kids, River Rose and Remington Alexander, with ex-husband

02:13 Brandon Blackstock, needed a clean slate, she admits that she was worried about how

02:19 the move would affect her kids.

02:21 "I genuinely love it, and I love that my kids love it.

02:25 What's cool for me with season five is I am in such a great place, not only with my kids

02:31 but with me personally and with the show."

02:35 And as she puts it, quote, "I feel like a weight has lifted."

02:38 "I feel like a weight has lifted."

02:50 "I feel like a weight has lifted."
