Kelly Clarkson’s Hilarious Fantasy Football Confession to Hailee Steinfeld: ‘Tell Josh Allen He Saved My Season!’

Pop Superstar Turns Football Fanatic in Viral Interview Moment

In a recent heartwarming — and downright hilarious — moment on The Kelly Clarkson Show, the Grammy-winning powerhouse reminded us all why she remains one of America’s most relatable celebrities.

What began as a casual conversation with actress and singer Hailee Steinfeld quickly turned into a viral-worthy confession about Kelly’s not-so-secret obsession with fantasy football — and her MVP quarterback, none other than Buffalo Bills superstar Josh Allen.

“I’m a Cowboys Girl… But Josh Allen Won Me Over. ”

Sitting down with Hailee Steinfeld and Sinners co-star Wunmi Mosaku, Kelly Clarkson didn’t waste any time diving into her football fandom.

With a playful grin, she gestured to her outfit, declaring, “See, I’m wearing this because — hold on — I’ve got to show the back. ”

As she moved her hair aside to display her football-themed attire, Kelly confessed a sports loyalty dilemma faced by many transplants: hometown pride versus adopted team spirit.

“I’m a Cowboys girl,” Kelly admitted — a nod to her Texas roots — “but when I move somewhere, I like to pick a local team.

 And there’s three here, but really… there’s just one. ”

Of course, that “one” is the Buffalo Bills.

The Shocking Fantasy Football Connection

Then came the twist no one saw coming.

“Congratulations,” Kelly beamed at Hailee, referring to her recent engagement to Josh Allen, the Bills’ superstar quarterback.

But what she said next left both the audience and Hailee herself laughing out loud.

“Josh was actually my quarterback for my fantasy football team,” Kelly revealed with gleeful pride.

“And he killed it for me.  So you tell him thank you.  Badass!”

Hailee, visibly delighted and perhaps a little surprised, laughed and promised, “Yeah, I will tell him that.

 He did so great for me!”

It was a quintessential Kelly Clarkson moment — unapologetically real, unexpectedly funny, and deeply relatable for anyone who’s ever ridden the emotional rollercoaster of fantasy football.

Beyond the Gridiron: Celebrity Meets Real Life

But Kelly wasn’t done connecting on a personal level.

Turning to Wunmi Mosaku, she shifted the conversation from touchdowns to toddlers, asking about her life as a new mom to a one-year-old daughter.

Mosaku confessed the universal truth of parenthood: constant exhaustion.

“Are you tired?” Kelly asked knowingly.

“I think that’s a constant now,” Mosaku replied with a laugh.

“I can’t imagine ever not being tired again. ”

Clarkson, herself a mother of two, empathized immediately — even offering some trademark Kelly humor on the experience of rare child-free downtime.

“You feel guilty, you feel all these things, and then there’s that tiny little bit of, like… alright,” Kelly joked, mimicking the bittersweet feeling of unexpected freedom.

Mosaku agreed, recounting how she’d woken up that morning, laid in bed staring at her alarm clock, and realized with quiet joy, “I don’t have anything to do. ”

Kelly’s response? A knowing nod and the simple truth: “That never happens for mothers. ”

The Magic of Kelly Clarkson: Authenticity in Every Moment

What makes Kelly Clarkson so beloved — beyond her powerhouse voice — is her complete lack of pretense.

She speaks like a friend, whether she’s talking to A-list celebrities or everyday fans.

And in this particular interview, she reminded everyone that celebrities are just like us — they juggle parenting struggles, they cheer for their fantasy football teams, and yes, they get really excited when their quarterback racks up big points.

Of course, the moment also subtly celebrated Hailee Steinfeld’s personal milestone — her engagement to Josh Allen.

The two have kept their relationship relatively low-key, making Kelly’s shoutout even more charming and unexpected.

“Y’all are going to make the most beautiful children,” Kelly gushed sincerely — and fans everywhere undoubtedly agreed.

Fans React: “This Is Why We Love Kelly”

Social media exploded in response to the interview clip, with fans praising Kelly for her authenticity and humor.

“Kelly Clarkson just casually flexing that Josh Allen won her fantasy league? ICONIC,” one fan posted on X (formerly Twitter).

Another wrote: “Kelly saying ‘tell him thank you, badass’ like she’s talking about her neighbor mowing her lawn — she’s the best. ”

Even some Buffalo Bills fans chimed in, joking that Josh Allen’s next contract should include a clause for “fantasy football bonuses” — starting with Kelly Clarkson.

The Takeaway: Football, Family, and Fun — The Kelly Clarkson Way

In an era when celebrity interviews often feel overly scripted or polished, Kelly Clarkson once again proved that real connection comes from honesty, humor, and heart.

Whether she’s belting out chart-topping hits, coaching contestants on The Voice, or confessing her fantasy football triumphs to Hailee Steinfeld, Kelly is always unmistakably herself.

And for the record? If Josh Allen didn’t know he had Kelly Clarkson in his corner before — he certainly does now.

So, Josh, if you’re reading this… Kelly says thank you.

And honestly? So do we.
