When you’re a celebrity, people seem to justknowyou.
It turns out that sometimes they don’t want to be so known anymore.
According toUs Weekly, Kelly Clarkson is officially changing her name.

Forget everything you know about the last name Clarkson, because the singer is likely leaving that name behind.
The nameKelly Clarksoncarries a whole lot of meaning.
So perhaps it makes sense she would want a fresh start, especiallyconsidering her recent divorce.

Heck, if Kanye West canlegally change his nameto “Ye,” then Clarkson should have no problem.
The change comes afterfiling for divorce in 2020.
The next step is apparently a name change for the singer.

“My new name more fully reflects who I am,” Clarkson said incourt documents.
According toLegal Zoom, it’s actually not all that hard to do.
According toVanity Fair, the reason that Clarkson will give will be heard by the court on March 28.
You would likely see a name change on The Voice and all other shows going forward though.
Here’s to hoping that Clarkson gets the fresh start that she wishes for.
