Why did Kelly Clarkson threaten to punch Blake Shelton?

The pressure was on for Niall Horan and Kelly as they both geared up for the moment of truth. The stakes were high as they were tasked with the challenging responsibility of selecting two contestants out of a pool of five, who would represent their team in the highly anticipated semi-finals of the competition. As the time to make the critical decision approached, Kelly found herself in a tight spot. She had to weigh her options carefully and choose the contestants who would give her the best chance of victory. However, her dilemma was exacerbated by the constant teasing of Blake Shelton, her long-time frenemy on the show.

As Blake badgered Kelly with repeated questions about her decision, Kelly's frustration reached its peak. She couldn't take it anymore and let out an outburst aimed at Blake, "I am going to punch you," she exclaimed. This left everyone laughing and unsure about how to react to Kelly's outburst. But amidst this, one thing was crystal clear: the competition was getting fierce, and the stakes were higher than ever before.
