Kelly Clarkson’s road to fame wasn’t an easy one.

On Wednesday episode of her talk show, “The Kelly Clarkson Show,” the singer revealed she moved in with a “random person” in Los Angeles from Texas to pursue her music career.

“I actually moved out to L.A. with some random person I did not know,” she told her guest, Kevin Bacon.

“Yeah, she just needed a roommate. I was like, ‘I’ll do it,’ and I moved from Texas to L.A. with a random stranger,” Kelly replied.

The “Footloose” star asked Clarkson how long she lived with the random stranger. Kelly explained that their roommate situation didn’t last long because their apartment burned down.

“It burned down, so yeah,” Clarkson said. “Then, I slept in my car for a few days and then tried out for a show called ‘American Idol’ so it all worked out.”
