·      Kelly Clarkson just revealed the fastest song she’s ever written — and it beat the sushi delivery guy.

·      In a new Ask Kelly Anything segment she was asked what song she wrote the fastest.

·      She said “Underneath the Tree” basically wrote itself while she was working with producer Greg Kurstin. “I ordered sushi and when it arrived I had written it,” she said.

·      The 2013 holiday hit went on to peak at No. 9 on the Billboard Hot 100 and topped the Adult Contemporary chart for four weeks.

·      Kelly said she thinks Christmas songs come easier because they’re “feel good,” a little cheesy, and “you don’t have to worry about being cool.”

·      “Underneath the Tree” was recently named one of ASCAP’s Top 10 New Classic Holiday Songs and made their all-time Top 25 list.

·      And speaking of hits — Kelly is kicking off her new Las Vegas residency The Studio Sessions at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace starting July 4th.
