Earlier this week, we reported that Kelly Clarkson had scored a huge victory in court when a judge upheld her prenup in her bitter divorce battle with ex Brandon Blackstock. It has since been revealed that Clarkson celebrated by jetting off to Las Vegas with some friends.
“Friends, Vegas, Top Golf, and George Strait… I dare you to have a better time than me right now,” Clarkson wrote in the caption of a selfie with her friends at Top Golf.

Fox News reported that Clarkson flew to Las Vegas with two girlfriends on Friday to see George Strait in concert and have some fun. The singer and talk show host also posted another photo in which she can be seen wearing a cowboy hat in an arena full of fans waiting for the concert to begin.
“Seeing the true King of country music tonight,” she wrote.

This came one day after a judge upheld Clarkson’s prenup. Sources told TMZ that Clarkson was on the set of “The Voice” when she heard the news, and that she “let out a scream” when she found out the judge’s ruling. She then celebrated with her fellow judges, including Ariana Grande.
Blackstock had been fighting the prenup in the hopes of splitting their accumulated properties, including the Montana ranch where is currently living, along with the income she earned during their marriage. Clarkson’s lawyer Laura Wasser argued that there has to be accountability when someone signs a contract like a prenup, and the judge ultimately agreed with her.
Clarkson filed for divorce from Blackstock in June of last year after seven years of marriage and two children together. Sources close to her say that she is ready to move on romantically as soon as her divorce is finalized.
“She hasn’t been dating and has been waiting until she is legally divorced, which will be in the next two weeks,” a source said earlier this month. “She wants a younger, up-and-coming country singer [who] understands the business.”
Clarkson admitted earlier this year that co-parenting with Blackstock has been “tough.”
“It’s tough. … I know with me and Brandon, it’s just a difficult thing because we’re in different places, and it’s like, we both agree on the main things, but it’s a hard thing when you’re not together all the time, for me personally,” she said. “As long as you make sure it’s about the children and their best interests, then we’re both on board.”
