“[My husband] really convinced me to do it because I really love that – there’s a lot of negativity going on right now, and I don’t love that – but there’s a lot of negativity and a lot of division, and one of my big things on tour is that it brings people together,” Kelly explained. “And my audience is filled with tons of random people that would probably never be in the same place. And I want my show to be like that, and he convinced me on that about the fact of all the good we could do and inclusion.”

You can catch new episodes of The Kelly Clarkson Show weekdays at 3pm ET on NBC.
