Kelly Clarkson and Brandon Blackstock have settled their divorce — and the musician is getting her feelings about the split out via song.
Us Weekly confirmed in June 2020 that Clarkson filed for divorce from Blackstock after nearly seven years of marriage. The pair’s legal battle quickly turned messy as they fought over custody of their two children, River Rose and Remington, as well as spousal support and joint assets.
The “Since U Been Gone” singer finalized her divorce in March 2022, agreeing to pay Blackstock $115,000 per month in spousal support until January 2024. Clarkson also paid her ex a one-time fee of over $1.3 million. Additionally, Clarkson — who was awarded primary custody of the kids — will pay $45,601 a month in child support until their children turn 18, graduate high school or become self-supporting.
During the divorce process, Clarkson channeled her heartbreak into her June 2023 album, called Chemistry. The Kelly Clarkson Show host explained the title in a March 2023 Instagram video, saying, “I was trying to find a word — also, it might be one of the songs on the album — that really described the whole thing. I didn’t want everybody to think I was just coming out with some ‘I’m angry,’ ‘I’m sad’ — just one or two emotions. This album is definitely the arc of an entire relationship. A whole relationship shouldn’t be brought down to just one thing. So there’s the good, the bad, and the ugly kinda thing going on in it.”
Before and after the album’s release, Clarkson has reimagined several songs with lyrics targeted at Blackstock. Scroll down to see her most savage lyric swaps:
“Happier Than Ever”
Clarkson raised eyebrows in October 2021 when she featured Billie Eilish’s “Happier Than Ever” as a “Kellyoke” song on her talk show. Fans were quick to notice that Clarkson tweaked a few lines to seemingly point at her drama with Blackstock.
“I don’t relate to you / I don’t relate to you, no / ‘Cause I’d never treat me this s–tty / You made me hate this city,” Eilish sings on the original track.
During the show, Clarkson changed the last line from “You made me hate this city,” to “I get it, you hate this city.” She also opted to keep most of the song’s expletives in her performance and just had the channel bleep them out when it was broadcast. Clarkson’s subtle change came after Blackstock hunkered down on their Montana estate and claimed he wanted to live there and leave his entertainment job.
Us confirmed in June 2022 that Blackstock moved out of Clarkson’s Montana ranch, which she legally owns, after a two-year battle over the property.
Blackstock initially argued that he wanted to be a full-time rancher, leaving his career as a talent manager, and therefore wouldn’t vacate the property. Clarkson, who was the sole owner of the ranch, wanted to sell it. She agreed in January 2022 to give Blackstock 5.12 percent of the land, equaling $908,800 of its total $17,750,000 value.
For her part, Clarkson announced in May 2023 that she was moving her family from L.A. to New York City — and her talk show would be relocating — following the divorce.

“Abcdefu”
Clarkson slammed Blackstock in March 2023 while covering Gayle’s “Abcefu” on the Kelly Clarkson Show. “F you and your dad and the fact that you got half / and my broken heart / turn that s—t into art,” Clarkson, seemingly referencing her contentious divorce from her former manager.
Gayle, for her part, originally sings, “F—k you and your mom and your sister and you job / and your broke-ass car and that s—t you call art.” In April 2023, Gayle showed her approval of Clarkson’s rewrite, resharing the video on social media. “OK OK BUT THIS LYRIC CHANGE!!!!” she captioned the clip. Clarkson sang an uncensored version of the song with her tweaked line during a July 2023 concert in Las Vegas.
“Piece by Piece”
The American Idol alum changed the lyrics of her 2015 hit “Piece by Piece” during an August 2023 performance as part of her Las Vegas residency. “But piece by piece, he collected me up / Off the ground, where you abandoned things, yeah / Piece by piece, he filled the holes that you burned in me / At six years old and you know,” Clarkson sings in the original track, which was written about how Blackstock was different from her own absentee father.
During the Sin City show, Clarkson changed the above mentions of “he” to “I,” belting, “I collected me up” and “I filled the holes,” making the tune about her own ability to pick herself up after heartbreak.
Clarkson proceeded to tweak the second part of the song’s chorus from, “He never walks away / He never asks for money / He takes care of me / He loves me,” to “I just walk away / when they ask for money / I take care of me / ’cause I love me.”
The Grammy winner altered the remaining chorus lyrics to once again make her the healer of her own pain. “Piece by piece, he restored my faith / That a man can be kind and a father could stay,” Clarkson originally sings. She now belts, “Piece by piece, I restored my faith / That a heart can still beat, even when it breaks.”
When it came to the final verse, Clarkson once again replaced “he” with “I,” proclaiming that she’ll never break her children’s hearts. While the original included the line, “He’ll take care of things, he’ll love her,” Clarkson now sings, “I’ll take care of things when you leave scars.”

Kim Breaks Her Silence After Kanye’s Controversial Grammys
![](https://bolanlemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Instagram-Posts-4.jpg)
Two days after Kanye West and Bianca Censori’s headline-grabbing appearance at the 2025 Grammy Awards, Kim Kardashian has subtly responded by focusing on her family and meaningful causes. The reality TV star and entrepreneur took to Instagram to share her experience at the @15PercentPledge Annual Gala, effectively ignoring her ex-husband’s controversial antics.
Kardashian, 44, made a fashion statement of her own in a black, backless, full-length dress, presenting a stark contrast to Censori’s revealing Grammy outfit. In her post, she highlighted the organization’s support for Black-owned businesses and entrepreneurs, demonstrating her commitment to important social causes.
While Kardashian didn’t directly address the Grammy incident, her actions spoke volumes. On the day of the awards show, she chose to spend quality time with her children. She took her 11-year-old daughter North to see the stage production of “Wicked” at the Hollywood Pantages Theater and later went to the movies with her 9-year-old son Saint. This deliberate focus on her family suggests Kardashian’s priority is shielding her children from the ongoing controversy surrounding their father.
Sources close to Kardashian reveal that she is “disgusted and alarmed” by West’s recent behavior, particularly concerning its potential impact on their children. The mother of four is reportedly worried about the example being set for North, who “idolizes her dad,” and is concerned about potential comments from their son Saint’s friends[3].
Kardashian’s approach to co-parenting amid the controversy has been cautious and protective. She has reportedly set strict rules for Censori’s interactions with her children, including bans on nudity and limitations on social media access. These guidelines aim to maintain consistency in the children’s routines and upbringing, regardless of which parent they are with.
As the situation continues to unfold, Kardashian remains focused on her children’s best interests, navigating the challenges of co-parenting in the public eye with grace and determination. Her recent actions serve as a testament to her commitment to her family, even in the face of ongoing controversy and media scrutiny.

Former President Joe Biden has signed with Creative Artists Agency (CAA), a major Hollywood talent agency, just two weeks after leaving the White House. This move marks a reunion for Biden with CAA, which previously represented him from 2017 to 2020.
Key Details
CAA co-chairman Richard Lovett praised Biden, calling him “one of America’s most respected and influential voices in national and global affairs”. Lovett also highlighted Biden’s “lifelong commitment to public service” as one of “unity, optimism, dignity, and possibility”.
During his previous stint with CAA, Biden achieved several notable accomplishments:
- Published his memoir “Promise Me, Dad,” which became a New York Times bestseller
- Launched the “American Promise” book tour, selling over 85,000 tickets nationwide
- The book tour is believed to have inspired his eventual run for the presidency
Potential Opportunities
At 82 years old, Biden has kept a relatively low profile regarding his post-presidency plans. However, his signing with CAA suggests he may be exploring various opportunities, such as:
- Public speaking engagements
- Writing projects
- Media appearances

CAA’s Star-Studded Roster
CAA represents a wide range of high-profile clients, including:
- Hollywood actors like Meryl Streep
- Lifestyle mogul Martha Stewart
- Sports stars such as Shohei Ohtani
Looking Ahead
While Biden’s specific plans remain unclear, he has previously stated, “I’m not going to be out of sight or out of mind”. His partnership with CAA may provide a platform for him to continue influencing national and global affairs, as well as sharing his experiences and insights from his long career in public service.
As Biden joins the ranks of former presidents exploring post-White House opportunities, his association with CAA positions him to potentially engage in various projects that could shape his legacy and contribute to public discourse on important issues.

What Film Producers Really Do
![](https://bolanlemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/curated-lifestyle-9Q0ME1_Cf50-unsplash-scaled.jpg)
When the credits roll and audiences marvel at a spectacular film, few realize the incredible journey that brought that story to life. At the heart of this journey is the film producer – a professional who is part creative visionary, part business strategist, and entirely passionate about storytelling.
![](https://bolanlemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/joel-muniz-w8VEN7WwY0s-unsplash-1024x683.jpg)
Film producers are essentially the architects of cinema, transforming a simple idea into a fully realized motion picture. Their work begins long before actors step in front of cameras, starting with discovering compelling stories and securing the rights to bring them to screen. Imagine a producer as a talent scout with an incredible eye for potential, constantly searching for narratives that could captivate global audiences.
The producer’s role is remarkably complex and multifaceted. They’re responsible for assembling the creative team, which means finding the perfect director, negotiating with screenwriters, and making critical casting decisions. But their job isn’t just about creative choices – they’re also financial strategists who must secure funding, manage budgets, and ensure the project remains economically viable.
![](https://bolanlemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/chris-murray-wcZAQZ3IMV0-unsplash-1024x767.jpg)
During actual film production, producers become problem-solvers extraordinaire. They navigate countless challenges, from unexpected location issues to creative disagreements, always keeping the project moving forward. They’re the bridge between artistic vision and practical execution, making sure the director’s creative goals align with financial realities.
Post-production is another critical phase where producers shine. They oversee editing, potentially request additional scenes, and prepare the film for distribution. Their networking skills become crucial as they negotiate with studios, potential distributors, and international markets to ensure the film reaches its intended audience.
What makes a great producer isn’t just technical skill, but a unique blend of creativity, business acumen, and relentless passion. They must understand storytelling deeply while simultaneously managing complex logistical and financial challenges. It’s a role that requires intuition, strategic thinking, and an unwavering commitment to bringing remarkable stories to life.
While actors and directors often receive the spotlight, film producers are the true unsung heroes of cinema. They are the magical professionals who transform abstract ideas into the movies we love, cherish, and remember. Their work is a delicate dance of creativity, strategy, and pure cinematic magic.
