Kelly Clarkson is taking to the stage at the Country Music Awards this week, in what will be the first time since her bitter divorce battle finally ended.
The singer first met her ex-husband Brandon Blackstock backstage at the award ceremony in 2006.
Kelly, 40, initially cited "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for the breakdown of their marriage, but she told viewers of her talk show that she "didn't see the split coming".
