Jim Gaffigan had one sole question for Kelly Clarkson while visiting her talk show on Tuesday: where are your shoes?
The comedian jokingly put the singer and TV host on blast after he noticed that she was barefoot at the beginning of their interview on Tuesday, asking, “What is going on with the feet?”
Gaffigan then began to jokingly speculate about the reasons why Clarkson had left her shoes behind. “I feel more grounded when I sing if I’m barefoot,” he teased, adopting a higher-pitched voice. “I can feel the ground.”
As it turns out, there was some truth to his teasing. “The best part of that statement and how [much of a] tool [I sound] is it’s true," a laughing Clarkson admitted. "That’s what I actually say!”
While the Grammy winner confessed that she does enjoy performing barefoot, she explained that there was a very simple reason for why she'd ditched her heels during the show. “My feet hurt,” Clarkson said. “The stilettos I was supposed to wear today, I didn’t have enough middle fingers for it… so I just said no. I’ve never gone barefoot before, but that’s okay. That’s what we’re doing.”
