Kelly Clarkson Cancels Big Wedding, Plans to Elope

Singer says she wants a more intimate affair when she ties the knot with Brandon Blackstock

Kelly Clarkson is evidently looking to breakaway from a big wedding.

While the "Catch My Breath" singer had originally made plans to tie the knot with Brandon Blackstock in October, the bride and groom have decided to go a much simpler route.

"We are so busy that we finally just came to terms the other night and were like, 'So, we change our minds and we want to elope," Clarkson told People. "We just got so overwhelmed by it—the decisions."

She added, "Our whole life is a celebration. That's what we kept laughing about. We don't need another day where we throw a big party. Our lives are so in the spotlight all the time. Everything is such a spectacle, we were like, 'We should rather have an intimate moment that's special."

Clarkson and Blackstock got engaged last December after a year of dating.
