Friends of Kelly Clarkson are concerned amid fallout from her online dispute with a Brooklyn toy store, according to Star. The report cites the singer’s “Pretty Woman” feud with Art of Play after the shop allegedly refused to sell her a $15,000 toy bird. It adds that Reba McEntire, Clarkson’s former step-mother-in-law, has been checking in and offering support. Star notes the American Idol alum, 44, announced in February that she would end her Daytime Emmy-winning talk show to prioritize time with her children, River, 11, and Remington, 10. This shift came after the 2025 cancer death of their father, Brandon Blackstock, 48. This video summarizes the published claims and timeline.
