Kelly Clarkson Marries Brandon Blackstock in Tennessee

Kelly Clarkson wed in Tennessee on Sunday (Oct. 20), confirming wedding speculation that had been swirling since she obtained a marriage license last week.

Clarkson married Nashville talent manager Brandon Blackstock at Blackberry Farms in Tennessee. Blackstock is Reba McEntire's stepson, and he also manages Blake Shelton.

The couple ended up getting married on the same day they had announced for their planned formal wedding, even though they scrapped those plans in favor of eloping.

In keeping with that philosophy, E! reports that only a small group of friends and family attended the intimate gathering on Sunday, including Blackstock’s children from his first marriage.

Clarkson broke the news to her fans via social media on Monday (Oct. 21).
