Kelly Clarkson and the Bush sisters joined together to open up about their individual weight-loss journeys. Fraternal twins Jenna Bush Hager and Barbara Pierce Bush joined the 41-year-old host on Monday's episode of The Kelly Clarkson Show.
The weight loss conversation started when they were all discussing the "Piece by Piece" singer's first Halloween in New York as a mom since her television show moved from Universal City Studios in Los Angeles to 30 Rockefeller Plaza. Once throwback photos popped up on the screen of them in previous Halloween costumes, they started talking about weight.
A photo of Jenna and Barbara wearing matching blue dresses popped up. The Today with Hoda & Jenna cohost instantly said, "We were chubby."
Kelly, however, did not agree. "You were not," she replied.

The fraternal twins clarified that though they weren't necessarily chubby in that particular photo, they were at certain points in their life. “I don’t think you know what chubby is,” the Kelly claimed.
Jenna then asked her sister if she was chubby, to which Barbara replied that she wasn't. “You can’t ask somebody that! She’s not gonna be like, ‘You were a chub club,'" the Grammy winner jumped in.
Barbara then replied that there was a stage when Jenna was a little overweight. Kelly responded by saying she's had multiple stages of being heavier that she preferred.
"I love losing weight, but here's the thing," she said, "Jeans are so hard when you have a butt and a smaller waist."
“Even on American Idol I was really thin, but I was bigger than the other girls on the show, so people would say things to me,” the "Since U Been Gone" singer said in a 2017 interview. “But luckily I am super confident, so I’ve never had a problem with shutting people down and saying, ‘Yeah, you know, that’s just what I’m rocking. It’s fine.’”
She went on to say that her weight can sometimes mimic a yo-yo. “Sometimes I’m more fit and I get into kickboxing hardcore. And then sometimes I don’t, and I’m like … I’d rather have wine.”
