Kelly Clarkson called secret nickname by frustrated staffers after Las Vegas cancellation
She’s Already Gone.
It appears as though Kelly Clarkson’s staffers have found an outlet for their anger, and it includes coming up with a secret nickname about the global superstar.
The “Since U Been Gone” singer, 43, angered the masses after canceling her debut show at the Colosseum Theater at Caesars Palace on Friday — just moments before she was due onstage.
The final nail in the coffin appeared to be when she further postponed her Saturday show.
As a result, the “Behind These Hazel Eyes” songstress left some of her workers scrambling for answers, with one perplexed staffer telling the Daily Mail that Clarkson’s new nickname is a “flake.”
“She’s the sweetest woman in show business. And not to be mean, but she’s being a flake,” they told the outlet.
“I’m sorry, but that’s how it feels. She’s being flaky. And that’s very hard to be in business with.”
The staffer added that while they “love” the “Breakaway” hitmaker, “the whiplash” from her eleventh-hour cancelation “is a lot.”
“She’s all in on the talk show, then she’s not, then she is again. She’s performing in Vegas, now she’s not. It’s her voice. It’s personal issues. It’s enough to make you crazy,” they added.
While crew members weren’t in the know about the reason behind the cancelation, one worker told the outlet that the singer pulled the plug on her gig for voice-related reasons.
“Honestly I don’t know if it’s her voice or not,” they said. “She has had voice issues before and obviously it’s a lot of work preparing for a residency.”
The Post has reached out to Clarkson’s reps for comment.
It comes just days after sources detailed the alleged behind-the-scenes drama that snowballed following the cancelation.
An insider claimed that Clarkson’s crew was kept “completely in the dark” about her plans to pull out of Friday’s hotly anticipated gig.
“Everyone working behind the scenes was in complete shock,” they told The Sun. “They woke up Friday expecting a normal day of work and began their day like always.”
The source explained that staffers were well into the work day before they allegedly learned the show would not go on, calling it “utterly disrespectful.”
Earlier this week, sources told Page Six that there was a deeper reason behind the “Stronger” singer’s decision to cancel her show.
“She belts out every single note. She’s an incredibly powerful singer, but it takes its toll on her vocal cords and she’s come incredibly close to needing surgery before,” they revealed. “She cannot risk damaging her cords further — she’s on thin ice.”
Besides preserving her powerhouse voice, Clarkson is reportedly dealing with issues in her “insanely complicated” personal life.
“Kelly is fighting some serious hidden battles that very few people are privy to …it’s a source of emotional and therefore physical distress for her,” one source said, referring to her yearslong messy divorce battle with ex Brandon Blackstock.
The exes, who finalized their divorce in 2022, share two children: daughter River Rose, 10, and son Remy, 8.
Clarkson’s 18-show residency is scheduled to run at Caesars until November 15.
