The “Miss Independent” singer, 38, took to Twitter on Friday, June 26, to celebrate winning a Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Entertainment Talk Show Host for the freshman season of The Kelly Clarkson Show.

“OH MY GOSH!!!!!! What is happening?!!!! This is amazing!!! Thank y’all so much!!! And a MAJOR thank you to my entire crew that really is the reason I won!!!

The “Stronger” singer also recently revealed her struggles with depression in a candid conversation with Demi Lovato on Wednesday, June 24.

“I have similar issues, and I suffer from depression,” Clarkson told Lovato, 27, on The Kelly Clarkson Show. “I think a lot of people, especially in the creative world, or just from childhood, you’ve been kind of trained to, like, just keep going and you can handle it. Especially as a woman, it’s like, ‘Don’t let ‘em see you sweat.’”
