Kelly Clarkson may have just won the award for cutest mom-daughter “date night”
When your mom is Kelly Clarkson, it’s to be expected that that just comes with certain perks. For example, Clarkson attended Tuesday night’s People’s Choice Awards, but turned the glamorous, star-studded event into a mother-daughter date night with her eight-year-old mini-me, River Rose. Are we jealous of an eight-year-old right now? No comment.
Clarkson and River Rose spent the evening together, posing on the red carpet and rubbing elbows with Hollywood’s biggest stars. Clarkson wore a red ruffled gown, and River Rose was dressed to impress on the red carpet in a shiny gold dress. The two posed with celebs like Mariska Hargitay, as if this night could get any cooler. Not only did River Rose get to attend an A-list event with her momma by her side, both of them dressed to the nines, but she also got to meet Olivia Benson herself? That’s one lucky kiddo.
When her talk show won the Best Daytime Talk Show award, Clarkson took the stage and gave shout outs to River Rose, and her six-year-old son Remington, who was home sick the night of the event.
“Thank you all so much, this is awesome,” she said onstage. “I’m having a date night with my daughter, River Rose. And, Remy, I know you’re home, you’re not feeling well, baby. But this is cool to get, and thank you Niecy [Nash] for hosting my show while I was sick.”
Clarkson continued, “This is very cool to get. This is where the people vote, and for the last 20 years that’s been my career. This is very important to me and this is why I have career: because y’all have been supporting me for that long.”
At the end of her speech, Clarkson hinted at even more fun ahead for her sweet date night with River Rose.
“Thank you all so much, I’m going to go have ice cream with my baby girl!” she said. Ending this event with a sweet treat? We can truly think of nothing better.
