Kelly Clarkson will never forget that she was the first-ever winner of American Idol , but that doesn’t mean she always remembers just who won the show after her. In fact, the singer, who had her fashion choices criticized recently and had a very specific reaction to Carrie Underwood joining the show that launched both of their careers, had an embarrassing moment when she seemed to forget that Clay Aiken did not win the competition series as he stopped by her talk show for a chat. In addition to forgetting a major anniversary involving Idol earlier this year, Clarkson seemingly forgot during her chat with Aiken that Ruben Studdard was crowned as the season two champ.

“Look, I’m 42, bro. Okay, like, I forgot.” Don't miss: Ke.
