Kelly Clarkson store footage

Pop culture · Heat 1.0 / 10 · 3 shows · 25m airtime

Security footage of Kelly Clarkson's visit to an Art of Play store was released on October 16, 2026, without audio. The four-minute-50-second clip, obtained by the podcast Pablo Torre Finds Out, does not show the clerk's face, so it does not settle what was said. Business Insider found no nearby business that corroborates Adam Rubin's account of fans protesting outside the store, and Rubin told USA Today he had a cancer removed from his face last week. The discussion covers the store's interviews, its $15 million price on the bird, and fans harassing the shop, with hosts urging people to just not shop there.

  2. No Filter With Zack Peter, 2026-10-14 (8:36 to 13:51)
    Narrates the silent footage frame by frame
    Walks the silent footage frame by frame, narrating Clarkson browsing, pointing at the bird, an employee pointing toward the price tag, and her putting items back before leaving. Reads it as validating her account; stays inside the footage already on the record.
  3. No Filter With Zack Peter, 2026-10-14 (13:51 to 21:12)
    Mocks the cancer-removal press tour
    Plays and mocks Adam Rubin's USA Today interview, where he says he had a cancer removed from his face last week and that Kelly Clarkson has put the shopkeepers in danger. Reads the press tour as escalation rather than new information about the visit itself.

  5. Chicks in the Office, 2026-10-16 (24:33 to 30:26)
    Finds the footage settles nothing
