Kelly Clarkson on Her Viral Encounter With Meryl Streep: 'She Totally Thinks I'm a Freak'
Kelly Clarkson's love for Meryl Streep is the gift that keeps on giving -- although, the legendary actress may not agree.
While visiting "Late Night With Seth Meyers" on Tuesday, Clarkson and Meyers discussed her adorable reaction to meeting her idol at the 2018 Golden Globes. It was a memorable one -- so much so that it went viral. Cameras were rolling as it happened, and to say that the "Voice" judge was excited would be an understatement. Clarkson became the definition of a fangirl, much to the delight of viewers and hordes of people across the internet.
Looking back almost two months after the fact, Clarkson gamely told Meyers that Streep was "probably scared."
"It's so embarrassing to watch yourself be an idiot," she said.
Luckily, that didn't stop the Grammy-winning singer from hilariously reenacting how she approached Streep, and then the actress's subsequent reaction. As Clarkson tells it, Streep tried to redirect her enthusiasm toward the group of people she was standing with.
"She totally thinks I'm a freak," Clarkson added.
Watch the conversation below, starting at 2:43.
"Late Night With Seth Meyers" airs weeknights at 12:35 a.m. ET/PT on NBC.
