Can someone explain to me what the whole Kelly Clarkson thing is about and why everyone who isn't me is siding with the person they're siding with?

She is a celebrity who was shopping and got mad because something wasn't for sale so complained to her fans who are now causing problems for the store. I'm trying to avoid knowing more because it is completely stupid.

I think you're probably right and the problematic person ends up being Kelly but it's still unclear.

Edit: Okay I'm gonna look properly instead actually. Puts on hazmat suit.

Kelly Clarkson visited Art of Play, a curiosity/magic shop in Brooklyn Heights, on Oct 10, and asked about "Molly," a one-off art piece mechanical singing bird on the wall. Kelly claims the employee "elevator eyed" her and condescendingly said it was $15,000 and offered to find "something comparable."

The store then countered that Molly is their mascot, permanently wall-mounted and never for sale. The $15,000 tag they say actually referred to ordering a custom "twin" from the Seattle artist who built it, and they offered to show her a $2,000 bird she could take home instead.

Then Kelly posted a photo of Molly with the $15,000 tag, which social media immediately read as proof the store lied, blood in the water.

The store reiterated their claim that the tag was for custom orders, not Molly itself. Co-owner Adam Rubin said Kelly's posts "put us in danger" amid a wave of harassment and fake negative reviews, and cheekily raised Molly's price to $15 million.

There's everything caught up. Now you know against your will maybe, sorry.

No, I think the Who is a band from the 70s. Kelly Clarkson is a former car show host.

That is even more dumb than I realized. Kelly Clarkson is an asshole and her fans suck.
