Kelly Clarkson seems to have dissed ex-husband Brandon Blackstock in a new YouTube video for her forthcoming album.
The 42-year-old singer — whose eponymous talk show was just renewed — posted the 53-minute visualizer for her project When Christmas Comes Around... Again on Wednesday.
In the video, four red holiday stockings are pictured hanging over a fireplace, complete with names of each family member embroidered on them.
One reads Mom and the others feature her kids' — daughter River, 10, and son Remy, eight — names, plus one that's monogramed with the word 'Nope,' seemingly referring to her ex, 48.
Kelly recently revealed her kids prefer that she's single, telling the radio station KOST 103.5, 'They’re young, so it’s hard to picture their mom with someone else other than their dad.'

Kelly and Brandon were married from 2013-2022 and had a drawn-out legal battle following their divorce filing.
The former couple met in 2006 and had been married for almost seven years when the pop star filed for divorce in June 2020.
Following the finalization of their divorce in March 2022, Clarkson was ordered to pay $45k a month in child support for their kids.
In January Kelly made her final $115k spousal support payment to Blackstock, who used to manage her.
A source told Us Weekly at the time: 'Kelly is feeling relieved that her spousal support to Brandon has come to an end.
'She’s been ready for this for a while now and is so happy her payments to Brandon will be complete. It’s so nice knowing that this chapter of her life can close with the new year.'
In November 2023, a California labor commissioner ruled Blackstock 'unlawfully' booked jobs for Clarkson, including inking her deal as a judge on The Voice, while employed as her manager, as only agents can secure roles for talent, according to court documents obtained by TMZ.
Blackstock also collected fees for other endorsements, like Wayfair and Norwegian Cruise Line, in the amount of $2,641,374.
The labor commissioner ordered Blackstock to return the commissions — which included $1.98 million for her gig on The Voice — to his ex-wife.

The Kelly Clarkson Show was renewed by NBCUniversal earlier this week.
It has maintained the top afternoon TV spot throughout its six seasons on air.
The talk show has featured a rotation of A-list guests including Selena Gomez, Hailey Bieber, Margot Robbie, and John Cena, among many more.
Her Kellyoke performances — a spin on karaoke — have collected millions of views online, often with praise from the original artists.
'Kelly Clarkson is a national treasure. We couldn't wait to announce another season of The Kelly Clarkson Show, fresh off the top-rated Christmas in Rockefeller Center in which Kelly hosted,' Tracie Wilson, Executive Vice President, Syndication Studios and E! News at NBCUniversal, said in a press release.
'There's an appetite in talk for stories that entertain and inspire, and The Kelly Clarkson Show is a shining star that delivers for our stations and connects with viewers across multiple generations in meaningful ways.'
