After stomping her stamp all over the pop music genre, Grammy Award winner and Texas native Kelly Clarkson is looking forward to recording her first country music album; inspired by her own American Idol Reba McEntire.

Life & Style reports:

“She wants to be a country star just like Reba. Kelly is a Southern Girl at heart.”

Kellz has even hired Reba’s manager/husband Narvel Blackstock to help launch her career in country.
