Let's make this birthday one to remember.

43 years old (Born on April 24, 1982)

Happy Birthday to the incredibly talented Kelly Clarkson! From winning America's heart as the very first American Idol, to conquering every genre of music (and regularly hitting those insanely high notes that most people only achieve in their showers!), you've consistently reminded us all just why we fell in love with you. Your recent successes hosting "The Kelly Clarkson Show" prove your charm extends far beyond singing—seriously, is there anything you can't do?

Thanks for being our favorite superstar who can belt powerhouse ballads and still manage hilarious banter without missing a beat. Keep spreading joy and practicing your trademark laughter; it's unquestionably contagious!
