Kelly Clarkson Has Had To Deal With Talk of Her Weight Gain, Especially at the 2012 Super Bowl. Here are Photos

We know it isn't nice, but plenty of people are talking about Kelly Clarkson's weight gain. When the American Idol star takes the stage at the 2012 Super Bowl, more than a few viewers will notice that Clarkson appears to weigh more than she used to.

After the release of her 2011 album Stronger, Clarkson had to deal with plenty of people talking about her weight gain.

That talk has continued into 2012, especially during this week's Super Bowl festivities.

How Much Does Kelly Clarkson Weigh?

Who knows? She doesn't exactly advertise it. Clarkson is around 5'3" tall and some websites claims she weighs around 180 pounds, although that seems a little high.

Of course, there are plenty of people who don't mind Kelly Clarkson's fuller figure. The Daily Mail compared her to Jessica Rabbit.

The Daily Mail story features a Clarkson quote that seems to sum up her attitude toward her weight gain.

'My happy weight changes. Sometimes I eat more; sometimes I play more. I'll be different sizes all the time.

'When people talk about my weight, I'm like, "You seem to have a problem with it; I don't."

It's hard to pinpoint when the weight gain occurred but Clarkson appears to have put on a few pounds back in 2009 and has fought the battle of the bulge ever since.

The New York Times noted that the way Kelly Clarkson has handled her weight issues helps her relate to her fans.
