'She's making a fool of herself': First female NFL Honors' host Kelly Clarkson slammed for mocking players at event
PHOENIX, ARIZONA: Kelly Clarkson made history on Thursday, February 9, 2023, as the first woman to host the 12th Annual NFL Honors. The prestigious event took place at Symphony Hall in Phoenix, and the who's who of the American football world was present there to honor the 2022 season's best players and performers.
In December 2022, it was announced that the 40-year-old singer would be hosting the NFL Honors, becoming the first woman to ever do so. An excited Clarkson looked stunning last night as she donned two glamorous outfits, a black velvet dress and a blue football jersey-inspired outfit. Further, the 'Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)' singer sang her heart out and charmed the audience, but this time she also cracked a couple of jokes and took her shots at the teams.

Clarkson wasted no time in finding a chance to take a shot at Cleveland Browns. "It was a crazy season. Thankfully the Browns restored order to the universe by doing a bunch of dumb Browns stuff, so that happened," Clarkson said in the intro. Host and singer Clarkson then moved on to roast the Dallas Cowboys for yet another divisional playoff exit.
Dressed in a cowboy gown, Clarkson said, "Did you all know there are more playoffs, like after the divisional round? Like as a Cowboys fan, I thought you all stopped doing that in the '90s." Clarkson also took her opportunity to take a shot at Eagles' fans by saying, "I am glad that they're in the Super Bowl because I think it's safer when we know where their fans are at all times. They are nuts."
'Kelly Clarkson you are the joke'
Although Clarkson gave a spectacular performance at the event, the football fans are not quite happy with her jokes. Considering the joke that ignorant Clarkson made about Cowboys, a user tweeted, "KELLY CLARKSON didn't know there was actually playoffs still around after the divisional round....OK U ACTUALLY GET POINTS FOR THAT." Many also made GIFs about how people actually reacted to her jokes. Another commented, "Kelly Clarkson u clown u are the joke in spite of ur horrible attempt at a joke."

An angry Cowboys' fan also slammed the singer by saying, "Kelly Clarkson is making a fool of herself. She's talking like a bandwagoner who has no clue what the Cowboys have been doing." Further, a football fan wrote, "Her jokes are awful…she’s not a comedian nor is she really a football person…would have been better if she did some sort of mashup song and stayed authentically herself." Moreover, a disappointed football fan also tweeted, "it should've been someone cool and actually into sports...what a joke performance hosting."
