Stepping Out After Ex Brandon Blackstock’s Death, Kelly Clarkson’s Small (But $22K) ‘Healing’ Tribute Felt Fitting

by

Kelly Clarkson has been keeping a low profile following the passing of her ex-husband Brandon Blackstock. This led to her delaying her Las Vegas residency and briefly taking a break from coaching on The Voice, choosing instead to spend time with their shared children. As a talk show host, it’s clear she’s dealing with her own grief, even though the couple separated five years ago. Recently, she made a relatively small (but costly) purchase that appears fitting for her healing process.

The American Idol winner was spotted at LAX on August 23 — her first public sighting since Brandon Blackstock’s August 7 passing — seemingly trying to fly below the radar in an all-black fit, complete with sunglasses and a black cowboy hat, per Page Six. One piece of jewelry caught the eye, however, as she sported a Le Stelle Tarot Card pendant from Sorellina. You can see the piece on the jeweler’s Instagram page:

The pendant is priced at an impressive $22,500, making it a fitting symbol for Kelly Clarkson’s personal healing process. As described by the product details, this Star pendant embodies concepts such as hope, inspiration, optimism, rebirth, healing, and rejuvenation.

The card is crafted using 18-carat yellow gold, set against a backdrop of glossy black onyx, and features sapphires, tsavorites, and diamonds.

It’s heartwarming to see that Kelly Clarkson apparently bought this item as a treat for herself following the challenges she faced both personally and professionally this year. The singer has opted to keep details about Brandon Blackstock’s illness private, which has led to many wondering why she was absent from recordings of The Kelly Clarkson Show.

Currently, it appears she’s prioritizing healing, a decision that likely benefits both her and her kids. The appropriateness of her recent purchase becomes evident when considering the Tarot card’s additional explanation on the website, which delves deeper into its significance.

The Star card symbolizes that even in the bleakest moments, there’s always a glimmer of brightness ahead. It encourages maintaining optimism during challenging times, as your determination will be recognized and rewarded. The image portrays a woman peacefully positioned among land, sea, and stars, secure in her intuition and appreciating the wealth of opportunities the cosmos has bestowed upon her. There’s an air of enchantment as she releases what no longer serves her, welcoming a fresh, tranquil phase in life. The card’s core meaning is to think big, embrace novel concepts, and be open to new possibilities that life offers.

At this moment, it’s only Kelly Clarkson who can say definitively what other possibilities she might consider. However, we do know that she will return for another season of her Emmy-winning daytime talk show, and she is set to reprise her role as a coach on The Voice for the upcoming 29th season, which is scheduled to air on NBC in February 2026.

During this time, Reba McEntire – who was married to Brandon Blackstock’s father from 1989 to 2015 – temporarily stepped back from the singing competition. As a coach on Season 28, she is filming concurrently with Kelly Clarkson’s season and is set to air on Monday, September 22, 2025, in the TV schedule. The queen of country expressed her admiration for her stepson by stating that “there was no one else like him.

The Blackstock family appears to be going through a tough time following Brandon Blackstock’s prolonged fight against cancer. We can only wish them swift healing in the days ahead.
