For the record -- we've adored Kelly Clarkson since her days on American Idol and her latest appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show is exactly why we love the unstoppable singer!

The "Since You've Been Gone" singer stopped by the talk show and addressed recent Twitter slams from British TV personality Katie Hopkins, who tweeted fat-shaming criticism of Clarkson's post-baby weight. The Brit took to Twitter and wrote, “Jesus, what happened to Kelly Clarkson? Did she eat all of her backing singers?” Ouch. That's not so nice, Katie!

Luckily, Clarkson took the high road and told Heat magazine she made the comments, “Because she doesn’t know me. I’m awesome! It doesn’t bother me. It’s a free world. Say what you will. I’ve just never cared what people think. It’s more if I’m happy and I’m confident and feeling good, that’s always been my thing. And more so now, since having a family—I don’t seek out any other acceptance.”

That's why we love her!

While sitting down with Ellen today, the 32-year-old addressed the cruel commentary again, saying that fat shaming was nothing new to her. "I love that people think [the topic] is new. Like, welcome to the past 13 years. I was the biggest girl on [American Idol] too. I wasn't big, but people would call me big. I kind of always got that," Clarkson said of the criticism about her weight.

The "Stronger" singer gave birth to daughter River Rose in June 2014 and has had difficulty shedding the pregnancy weight. But it seems as though the performer is taking the jabs with a grain of salt and looking to turn the other cheek, despite the unkind words.

The new mom explained that it's actually harder for her to deal with how it damages other people. "Well it hurts your feelings more if it’s someone else that you like. I think what hurts my feelings for people is that I'll have a meet and greet after the show and a girl that's bigger than me will be in the meet and greet and be like, 'Wow, if they think you're big I must be so fat to them,'" said Clarkson.

But true to form, Clarkson used her words to inspire others to be stronger, adding: "You're just who you are. We are who we are. Whatever size. And it doesn't mean that you're gonna be that way forever."

Miss Independent has certainly gotten us all through a number of break ups with her rousing rock songs -- so we aren't surprised to hear her helping other women who are struggling with their weight to accept themselves. KELLY CLARKSON 4 PRESIDENT!
