audio

Kelly Clarkson is on the airwaves these days with her great new single, “Tie It Up,” and she’s also out on tour, so we asked Kelly not long ago to give us the lowdown on some of her favorite movies to pass the time while she’s bussing from city to city. (AUDIO INFO BELOW)

  • Earlier today, it was announced that Kelly and will.i.am will announce nominations in five categories for the 2013 American Music Awards, live on ABC’s Good Morning America on Thursday, October 10th, during the 8:30am, ET, half-hour. Immediately after GMA, Kelly and will.i.am will reveal the nominations in all categories at a press conference at B.B. King’s Blues Club & Grill in New York. This year’s American Music Awards will air live on Sunday, November 24th, beginning at 8:00pm, ET/PT, on ABC.
  • Kelly is currently a double-nominee for the upcoming CMA Awards, where she’s up for Female Vocalist of the Year, as well as Musical Event of the Year for her collaboration with Vince Gill on her song, “Don’t Rush.”
  • Kelly’s digital single for “Tie It Up” is available here, on iTunes!
  • Kelly mentions her fiancé Brandon Blackstock, with whom she’s planning to enjoy a very intimate wedding ceremony that — when it happens — will include just the couple, the minister, and Blackstock’s two children.
  • Look for Kelly on tour now through October 6th with Maroon 5!

audio  Kelly Clarkson talks about some of her favorite tour-bus entertainment. (:32)
“Without a doubt, I always have my go-tos, which is An Affair to Remember. That’s one of my favorite movies, ’cause I’m such a chick — that is such a chick thing to say, but…. I always have Pride & Prejudice. That’s always on there. And I always have my books. I probably read more than I watch, just because it’s a great place ’cause I’m on my bus alone, unless [fiancé] Brandon [Blackstock] comes out, so, you know, it’s just like a good, quiet place to read. And when you have kids, like we have kids now, so there’s not too much time to read when you’re home. So if I’m out on the road or on, like, an airplane or something, I get all my reading in.”
