Kelly Clarkson mistaken for Carrie Underwood, signs autograph anyway

An “American Idol” fan had her winners confused when they mistook Season 1 winner Kelly Clarkson for Season 4 title holder, Carrie Underwood.

Clarkson, 38, recently revealed that a fan once confused her with the country star, 37, despite them looking nothing alike.

“This girl came up to me and was like, ‘Oh my god, your song ‘So Small’ is one of my favorites,'” Clarkson said during Friday’s episode of her talk show. “And I kept thinking, ‘I don’t have a song “So Small.” ‘And then she said another song and I was like, ‘Oh, you think I’m Carrie Underwood.’ ”

“And I literally look nothing like Carrie Underwood,” she continued. “I was so embarrassed for her that I just…She was like, ‘Can you sign this?’ And I totally signed ‘Carrie Underwood.’ I think that might be illegal!”

Clarkson previously opened up about being confused for Underwood in 2016.

“People come up to me all the time,” she said on Z100’s Elvis Duran and The Morning Show. “Okay, we look nothing alike, we sound nothing alike, there’s nothing about us that’s similar, really, except we were both on ‘Idol.’ People are always like, ‘I love your song, “So Small,” and I’m like, ‘Thank you. Thank you, I think you’re thinking I’m Carrie Underwood.’ It always happens!”
