Kelly Clarkson might not be a household name for long, because she’s looking to legally change her moniker!! What??
According to multiple reports, the singer has filed to request a legal name change because she has a strong “desire” to go by Kelly Brianne, which would be her first and middle name. In a court document submitted on Monday and obtained by Us Weekly, the 39-year-old stated:

A hearing has been set for March 28 to review the petition. It’s unclear at this time if Kelly plans to ditch “Clarkson” altogether or keep it as her stage name considering that’s what she’s known as around the world. She even has a talk show called The Kelly Clarkson Show! Would she really want to change
