On Tuesday, Gwyneth Paltrow revealed that Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion’s hit “WAP” was her favorite when she felt down.
“Previously, we were talking about music, so I have to ask, what are some of the songs that you listen to when you are depressed?” Kelly Clarkson asked Paltrow in an interview on “The Kelly Clarkson Show”.
Without hesitation, the star of “The Politician” replied, “Wet A– P —-,” which had to be deleted from the program.
To his shock, Clarkson stood up and turned his back on the actress, starting to laugh as he said, “Oh, my God. I’m done. I’m done.”
Clarkson then said that he felt he needed to “see the tape back because I feel like I was, ‘Oh, wait, what?'”
“God, you won as a favorite guest this season,” continued Clarkson. “No, that was incredible. I needed it in my soul.”
The song “WAP” caused some controversy over its explanation, even generating a feud on Twitter that led to apparent threats of prosecution between Cardi B and conservative analyst Candace Owens.
Despite the skepticism it received, the song was hugely successful: it debuted at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart after its release in August, it was played by Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion at the Grammy earlier this month, and the video song has more 346 million views on YouTube.
Paltrow is just one of many celebrities who have embraced the leader of the charts.
In November 2020, Clarkson interviewed Lisa Rinna on her show, in which she showed the audience a compilation of the star of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” dancing on TikTok.
“That was for the song ‘WAP’. This is something that a friend of mine challenged me to do, but I still look like an idiot. It doesn’t matter,” said Rinna.
“Girl, you don’t look stupid. If I had that body, I would be hitting like that too,” replied Clarkson.
Dua Lipa, Vanessa Hudgens and Jason Derulo also participated in the dance challenge “WAP” at TikTok.
Lipa went to a dance studio to complete the solo challenge and, at the end of her TikTok video, she put a “Send Help” on the screen.

Hudgens, on the other hand, had a friend who joined her in her backyard to roll over and make cracks in the grass.
And Derulo did not physically indulge in music, but his girlfriend, Jena Frumes, danced together in a video, in which he later went in and pretended to kick her into the pool.
