We’ve all heard of black holes in space. But former “The Voice” coach Kelly Clarkson recently found one at her Montana ranch.

On May 16, Clarkson posted on Instagram a picture of a mysterious dark pit in the ground, captioning  it with a reference to the 2022 Prime Video sci-fi Western series “Outer Range”: “Found a large black hole on my ranch and I’m thinking #OuterRange if I jump in, when and where will I end up? Or who came out of it? So many questions.”

What the Hole Is Going on Here?!

Fans were as perplexed as Clarkson about where this mysterious hole came from and what it means. One Instagram follower commented, “thats really creepy, wonder whats down there.”

Another follower joked (referring to Clarkson’s ex-husband, Brandon Blackstock), “that’s brandon’s new home,” while another jested, “That’s a good hiding place for a body…if you know what I mean.”

Some of Clarkson’s 5.9 million Instagram followers seemed genuinely concerned. One posted, “Stay the hell away from it,” and another wrote, “Be careful…could have collapsing areas around it under ground.” Another fan posted, “Sink hole possibly. Be careful.”

One commenter combined concern with humor, writing, “Keep back don’t want that ground to BREAKAWAY,” referencing to Clarkson’s hit song from 2004).

A clever “Alice in Wonderland” reference read, “Don’t eat the mushrooms and watch out for the talking rabbit.”

One Instagram follower posted, “JUMP IN IT KELLY! Maybe it’ll lead to The Voice,” referencing Clarkson’s recent announcement that she would not be returning as a coach for season 22.

Do All Holes Lead to ‘The Voice’?

Many fans of Clarkson and “The Voice” are disappointed that the first “American Idol” winner has been replaced by pop star Camilla Cabello. Like Clarkson, Cabello also got her start on a reality TV music competition, “The X Factor.”

Despite fans’ pleas for Clarkson to return to “The Voice,” it has been widely speculated that the mother of two plans to spend more time with her family while focusing her career on her daytime talk show, “The Kelly Clarkson Show.” According to a May 16 article in Newsweek, “Clarkson hasn’t yet given an official reason for her departure from ‘The Voice,’ but fans are convinced it’s likely to do with the exciting projects she has of her own and her desire to spend more time with her children.”

More About Clarkson’s Ranch

In March 2020, Clarkson showed off the ranch on her talk show. (WATCH below)

Located in Granite County about 90 miles from Missoula in Western Montana, Clarkson’s ranch is part of the Warren Peak Ranch swath of land. Dubbed “Vintage Valley,” her property was purchased in 2018.

Clarkson said in the video that “it’s nice to get into nature. … as a society, we don’t do it enough. We’re always working, constantly. So, it’s nice to just come out here and sit by the stream and hear the water flowing and be around all the trees. I just love the sound of just nature and not cars and people all on top of you.”

The video shows various parts of the ranch where Clarkson and Blackstock, her husband at the time, liked to spend time with their kids and make s’mores.

In August, Clarkson, 40, and Blackstock, 45, divorced after seven years of marriage. After an ensuing property-rights battle, a judge awarded Blackstock 5% of the property, which is believed to be worth $17.8 million, according to a January story in USA Today.
