etonline.com:

Kelly Clarkson made a statement over the weekend at her Las Vegas residency once again changing up her lyrics in an apparent reference to her divorce from Brandon Blackstock.

Clarkson performed her hit 2015 single «Piece By Piece,» explaining some of her changes to the crowd on Saturday, Aug. 5 (per ). “This song I initially wrote just super hopeful, right?

And well, sometimes hopeful turns into hopeless, so here we go, ‘Piece by Piece,'” Clarkson said before singing the anthem. The original lyrics praised Blackstock for his role as a father and a partner after Clarkson's own childhood was filled with disappointments.

In the original song, she sings, «But piece by piece, he collected me up / Off the ground, where you abandoned things, yeah / Piece by piece, he filled the holes that you burned in me / At six years old.» But in Saturday's performance, Clarkson changed many of the «he» lyrics to «I.»And instead of singing, “He never walks away / He never asks for money / He takes care of me / He loves me,” Clarkson now sings, “I just walk away / when they ask for money / I take care of me / ’cause I love me.”kelly clarkson completing changing the lyrics to piece by piece has me SOBBING.
