Kelly Clarkson is back in action with another hair transformation, going shorter than ever, and with a shade that some fans are finding unflattering.

The “Since U Been Gone” singer recently debuted what appears to be one of her shortest hairstyles yet, showing off a chic above-the-shoulder bob during appearances on several talk shows, including The Today Show and Late Night with Seth Meyers. While some fans were excited to see Kelly switch things up, others weren’t quite as sold on the transformation, with several taking issue with the color and claiming that her hair appeared to have a green tint in certain lighting.

Kelly Clarkson Debuts Her Shortest Haircut Yet

The famous talk show host is back in action and with a shorter haircut to boot.

 

Kelly debuted her dramatic new haircut during her September 21st appearance on Today in New York City, where she showed off a sleek, chin-length brunette bob styled with soft, textured waves. Later that day, she wore the same shorter style during an appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers, styling the bob with a looser, more windswept look.

 

However, this isn't the mom-of-two's first time experimenting with shorter hair. She previously sported a bob while appearing on The Voice in March, and she has also played around with faux-bob styles in the past. In fact, the singer previously revealed that a seemingly short bob for The Voice was actually created by hairstylist Robert Ramos, who cleverly concealed most of her longer hair.

Fans React To Kelly's Hair On Social Media

While plenty of fans have praised the Kelly Clarkson Show host's new bob, others took to social media to share less enthusiastic reactions, particularly when they spotted the singer's hair during her Today appearance. Some viewers thought the brunette color appeared to have a noticeable green tint under the studio lighting, leading to comments questioning the unusual-looking shade.

 

Online, the reactions were mixed, with some fans loving Clarkson's shorter style while others focused on the color and said they weren't fans of the overall look.

 

"Not good," commented an Instagram user. "Why this style? It's so old-looking. I don't get it."

 

"It doesn't look good," wrote another.

 

"Is it green?" a user asked. "It looks green!"

 

"I don't like it," a fan commented. "It's not for her."
