Another day, another slay by Kelly Clarkson<\/strong><\/a>. The pop star looked stunning and showed off her incredible weight loss<\/a> as she performed during NBC\u2019s Christmas at the Opry special on Thursday, December 7.<\/p>\n Kelly, 41, opened the show with a duet of \u201cSanta Claus Is Coming to Town\u201d with country music legend Wynonna Judd<\/strong>. Wynonna, 59, served as the host of the evening. NBC promised a night filled with \u201cChristmas favorites, holiday classics and today\u2019s biggest hits.\u201d<\/p>\n In addition to Kelly, the two-hour musical event featured performances from Chrissy Metz<\/strong>, Adam Doleac<\/strong>, BRELAND<\/strong>, Brenda Lee<\/strong>, Chris Janson<\/strong>, Lauren Alaina<\/strong>, Meghan Patrick<\/strong>, Mickey Guyton<\/strong>, Mitchell Tenpenny<\/strong> and Trace Adkins<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Kelly\u2019s appearance at the Grand Ole Opry comes one week after she hosted and performed at the live Rockefeller Center Christmas tree lighting ceremony<\/a> on November 29. The \u201cStronger\u201d hitmaker looked chic and cozy in a belted knee-length white coat with faux fur on the collar, hemline and cuffs. She paired the coat with a black shirt underneath and matching gloves. The singer\u2019s hoop earrings were on display, as her blonde locks were tied up in a bun with her brand new bangs swept across her forehead. She added a bit of Christmas cheer with bright red lipstick.<\/p>\n Kelly\u2019s style game has been unmatched recently, and fans can\u2019t help but notice her weight loss. The mom of two \u2014 who shares daughter River Rose, 9, and son Remington Alexander, 7, with ex-husband Brandon Blackstock<\/strong> \u2014 has been on a health journey since 2006, when she was diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder and a thyroid issue. She took medication for years and her weight fluctuated, but she eventually stopped and made lifestyle changes instead.<\/p>\n Enter Dr. Steven Gundry<\/strong>\u2019s book, The Plant Paradox<\/em>, which discusses a \u201clectin-free\u201d diet. Kelly said in 2018 that the book helped her get her hormone levels back up, and she lost 37 pounds.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m not on medicine anymore because of this book,\u201d she told Extra<\/em> at the time.<\/p>\n Kelly appears to have shed even more pounds since her divorce from Brandon, 46, was finalized in March 2022. Fans have speculated for months that the singer could be on Ozempic<\/a>, the type 2 diabetes drug often prescribed off-label for weight loss. However, a source exclusively told Life & Style<\/em><\/a> in October that this was not the case.<\/p>\n \u201cShe\u2019s limited her sugar and carb intake. She\u2019s cut out soda, chips, biscuits, cheese and tortillas. And she\u2019s added exercise, mostly cardio, into her weekly routine. She\u2019s lost about 40 pounds. She feels amazing,\u201d the insider revealed.<\/p>\n Kelly has not spoken much about the recent change in her figure, but she did touch on it during the November 7 episode of her talk show. While speaking to guests Jenna Bush Hager<\/strong> and Barbara Bush<\/strong> about finding clothes after weight loss<\/a>, she said, \u201cI love losing weight. But jeans are so hard. I feel like jeans are so hard when you have a butt and like, a smaller waist.\u201d<\/p>\n Kelly added, \u201cThis is a first-world problem, I realize. And it\u2019s a great problem.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n![\"Kelly](\"https:\/\/www.lifeandstylemag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Kelly-Clarkson-Shows-Off-Weight-Loss-at-Christmas-at-the-Opry.jpg?fit=400%2C267&quality=86&strip=all\")
