She exclusively told !: "I'm super excited for Kelly's Grammys look, she's going to look fire. I'm very proud of it, I can't wait for you to see it."

Kelly's return to the Grammys was in honor of her nomination for for her most recent record, . If she wins, it will be her third trophy in the category after winning it for 2004's and 2011's .
Kelly shared her joy over being nominated back in November, writing on Instagram: "Wow! I am so grateful for every Grammy nomination I have ever received from the @recordingacademy, but this album means so much to me and this nomination hits differently.
"Thank you so much! I am also so honored to share this nomination with incredible artists like @teddysphotos, @mileycyrus, @taylorswift, and @oliviarodrigo."
Kelly penned an impressive 40 to 50 songs for – which was largely inspired by her relationship and divorce from ex-husband, Brandon Blackstock – but some tracks were "too truth-telling" to be included in the final selection of 14 songs.
"I know people will hear this record and be like, 'Oh, damn, she went there!' and I'm like, 'No, I promise you I didn't,'" she told Entertainment Weekly.
However, the album does feature several heart-wrenching tracks that she anticipates will bring her to tears during live performances. "It's hard for me not to tap back in because I feel like it's my job to emote what the lyrics are," she explained.
"I don't have control over it. But what I do have control over is the fact that I know I don't have control over it, so it's fine."
Kelly and Brandon split in 2020 but their divorce wasn't finalized until two years later. They share Remy, and their daughter River, nine.
