It is not known how much Kelly weighed a year ago; some experts have put her weight at 200lbs.
Now she appears to be in the 120lb range.
Last year she has said she lost only 40lbs, but it looks like she may have dropped much more, like around 80lbs.
Clarkson has denied she used a weight loss drug to get thin.
On the show Crow shared her ‘crazy’ Prince story about the time he invited her to Paisley Park and beat her in a game of basketball while wearing heels.

Earlier this year Kelly came clean about what she did to lose a drastic amount of weight this summer amid speculation from fans that she was on Ozempic.
The pop star said in her People magazine cover story that she made two big lifestyle changes.
Firstly, the Since U Been Gone singer revealed that she decided to walk everywhere in her new home of New York City which has helped her get the exercise she needed.
Before Manhattan, she resided in Los Angeles where she drove her car everywhere, limiting her daily steps.
Secondly, The Voice star revealed that she decided to listen to her doctor, taking on the advice to cut down on carbs and put herself on a protein heavy diet.
She told the publication she loves to stroll around her neighborhood and putting in the steps have been great for her waistline.
Clarkson also takes her kids River Rose, nine, and son Remington Alexander, seven – dad is her ex-husband Brandon Blackstock – with her.
‘We go walk the dogs a few times at the park. We’ll go for ice cream because my daughter will wear me down. We’ll go make slime and we go to the museum,’ she said.
‘Walking in the city is quite the workout. And I’m really into infrared saunas right now. And I just got a cold plunge because everybody wore me down,’ Kelly added.
And what she puts on her plate is different.
‘I eat a healthy mix. I dropped weight because I’ve been listening to my doctor — a couple years I didn’t,’ explained the talk show host.
‘And 90 percent of the time I’m really good at it because a protein diet is good for me anyway. I’m a Texas girl, so I like meat — sorry, vegetarians in the world!’
She looked much thinner at the start of the fall when she went back to her talk show’ the set was now in NYC and not LA. At the time she said the weight change was due to ‘healthier choices.’
