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.’”
