In her message, she refers to Pretty woman scene in which Vivian goes to a clothing store and the salesman refuses to show her the most expensive items.
In the film, Vivian later returns to the store while wearing nicer clothes and holding tons of shopping bags from other stores as she remarks to the clerk who refused to show her the items that she made a “big mistake. Big. Huge”.
Clarkson, who moved to New York in the fall of 2023, doesn’t share too many details about her life on social media, often choosing to keep her life private. However, she has shared posts about her experiences and updates from her life from time to time.
In February, the multi-hyphenate revealed her decision to step down as daytime host on The Kelly Clarkson Show in an effort to “prioritize” her children — daughter River Rose, 11, and son Remington Alexander, 10 — after the death of their father, Brandon Blackstock.
“There have been so many incredible moments and performances over these seven seasons,” she said at the time.
“I am forever grateful and honored to have worked alongside the greatest group and crew you could hope for, to all the talented and inspiring people who have shared their time and lives with us, to all the fans who have supported our show, and to NBC for always being such a supportive and incredible partner,” Clarkson added.
