Kelly Clarkson says her new single “mine” is about the unraveling of her relationship with ex-husband Brandon Blackstock.
But could it actually be about Troye Sivan?
The gay pop/bottom icon posed the question on TikTok this week, after watching Clarkson perform a stunning rendition of the post-divorce anthem on her talk show. During the song’s final bridge, Clarkson appears to invoke Sivan’s name.
The “Angel Baby” singer has the video evidence.
“Troye Sivan/ Who the hell do you think you are,” she appears to sing.
“@kellyclarkson drop your location im [sic] ready to fight,” he posted in response.
Before we delve further into this controversy, we should thank Sivan for recording his video shirtless. The Australian sensation doesn’t always let his full body bloom on social media, but when he does, it’s more than worth it.
Last year, he sent Gay Twitter™ into shambles when he went full goth-twink for a revealing photo shoot.
The 27-year-old king of twinkdom also had a video pulled last year for the crime of being too hot for TikTok. In it, he showed off the soles of his feet and used an AI filter to transform himself into an anime character. But the generator had other, and dirtier, ideas.
Instead of an AI-version of Sivan’s soles, it produced a ripped, nearly naked man.
Oh My! My! My!
But back to lyrical mondegreen.
Clarkson, as you probably know, didn’t actually mention Sivan. The real lyrics to the bridge in question are: “Sabotage, your choice of art/ Who the hell do you think you are?”
“Sabotage” and “Troye Sivan” sound kind of similar, right? Sorta? Maybe? Watch Clarkson’s masterful performance yourself:
Clarkson, who has many queer super fans, has previously said she never intends to remarry. The original American Idol winner’s new album, “Chemistry” explores all of her post-divorce feelings.
Much like Sivan, an unabashed queer artist for queer people, Clarkson doesn’t block out her fans from her personal life. She lets them in.
Given those similarities, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that she says she knows exactly what Sivan was trying to do.
Maybe there’s a collab in the pair’s future? 🤞
Since Sivan isn’t touring this summer, we may have the time to stop by the set of Clarkson’s show. We wouldn’t complain.
Scroll down for some shots of Sivan being adorably provocative on Instagram…

They’re both great. I would love a duet.

It’s “choice of art” that sounds like Troye Sivan. All you had to do watch the very video you posted to know that.

I can’t even make it sound like his name. Is somebody looking for a bit of publicity?

Why y’all keep lying to this dude by calling him sexy, him sexy, he’s as close to being sexy as the Earth is to Pluto.

Well, since he has 14.3M followers on Instagram, it would appear I’m not the only one who thinks he’s super hot!

“gay pop/bottom icon”. Seriously, Queerty? We’re doing this now? Might I suggest that your bylines should reflect this new direction. Alex Reimer – total bottom, for example.
