Summary

  • Clarkson’s 2026 holiday capsule at Wayfair has added bird-themed decor, including a six-piece brushed-metal ornament set and a motion-activated singing budgerigar pair.
  • The release lands days after Clarkson accused Brooklyn Heights shop Art of Play of refusing to sell her a musical bird sculpture she said was tagged at $15,000.
  • Art of Play co-owner Adam Rubin told Rolling Stone that Clarkson’s social-media posts triggered a wave of negative attention against the small business; Clarkson has not answered his latest comments.
  • Clarkson’s broader Kelly Clarkson Collection has been sold through Wayfair since 2020, giving the singer her own home-decor platform as the shop dispute continues online.
