While many of her followers responded to her “uncool” joke, others took an opportunity to let her know that they loved per performance of the National Anthem.
“To be fair, Kelly, it was probably a pot hole and they just covered it up! Welcome to Indy again and beautiful job on the anthem!!!” a fan gushed.
You just stumbled a little bit ๐. The โheadlinesโ made it sound like you fell off the stage or something – but you did recover well! Be careful out there! BTW, you really nailed the National Anthem!

While her near fall could have put a damper on things, Clarkson ended up meeting actor Matt Damon (The Jason Bourne franchise, the upcoming Ford v. Ferrari).
Clarkson shared a photo of the two of them together at the big race and explained that after having a mutual friend for many years the two finally were able to met one another.
