Many unknown people have had their singing careers launched thanks to American Idol. Despite the fact that the show produced a victor every season, few of the contestants went on to become celebrities. Kelly Clarkson, on the other hand, became America’s sweetheart after winning the inaugural season of American Idol.
She set a high bar for everyone in the years after her! It didn’t take her long to set a large fanbase – pretty much everyone knew every lyric to her first song, “A Moment Like This”…and she was selling out gigs all over the world. Despite the fact that her career has slowed over the years, the Grammy Award-winning vocalist remains one of the original singers of the early 2000s.

Oh, fashion in the early 2000s, you were truly…interesting. Kelly Clarkson was photographed in 2002 after winning the inaugural season of American Idol and stealing the show’s attention. She wore her hair in pigtails, wore a crop top, wore a long denim skirt, and wore the iconic platform sandals.
What a legend. Nothing brings back more memories than those studded belts, which were the epitome of adolescent angst. In this photo, Kelly displayed a more rock & roll side to her personality.
