Lucy Hale Gives Some Credit To Kelly Clarkson For Her Career

Lucy Hale says she has Kelly Clarkson to thank for her career!

The 30-year-old actress’ appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show aired this week (March 24) and she opened up about why Kelly is of the reasons she has a career.

“I remember, I watched you on American Idol, and I just fell in love with you. I was like, ‘I want to audition for American Idol‘,” Lucy said. “And sure enough, they did American Juniors, I auditioned for that, and it’s because of all that that it led to the acting.”

Kelly was of course the first ever winner of American Idol, and it spawned a kids version called American Juniors. Lucy was in the top ten on that show, along with Katelyn Tarver.

What a full circle moment!
