Kelly Clarkson cracks up Vegas crowd with ‘Stranger Things' joke

Kelly Clarkson can’t keep her cool as she had a wardrobe complaint during her Las Vegas show.

The Voice judge turned the heated moment into one of the night's funniest highlights.

During her August 2026 performance at Caesars Palace, the American Idol winner playfully tugged at her sheer orange top while addressing the crowd about the sweltering Vegas heat.

“It’s a see-through shirt and I am sweating,” she joked as she held up the fabric.

Rather than simply blaming the heat, the Because of You songstress began wondering aloud what exactly her outfit was made of.

“I’m wearing Montana negative 30,” she quipped once again. “It will keep you cozy. We need Eleven.”

The last line was a playful reference to Eleven, the supernatural character from Stranger Things, prompting the Stronger singer to add a cheeky disclaimer for anyone who might not catch the joke.

“Um, if you are not old enough to get that joke, get out… I am just kidding,” she told the audience.

The 44-year-old singer’s impromptu fashion commentary quickly became a quintessential Clarkson moment, completely turning an uncomfortable situation into a joke.
