It’s been over 23 years since Kelly Clarkson won the very first season of American Idol, and she’s still waiting on the car she was promised as part of her grand prize.
The “Since U Been Gone” singer made the revelation on Tuesday’s (March 10) episode of The Kelly Clarkson Show when speaking with The Traitors Season 4 winner Rob Rausch. The Love Island alum told Clarkson he was still waiting to receive the $220,800 prize money he won on the show.
