KELLY CLARKSON performed at the opening ceremony for the U.S. Open on Monday night. She did a medley of six of her biggest hits, including "Since You Been Gone", "Miss Independent", and "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)".
And she impressed her fans so much that they started a social media campaign, demanding that she headline the Super Bowl Halftime Show this winter.
Of course, anything can happen once things like this go viral, but at this point, there's no indication that the NFL would look into Kelly, just because of a good showing at the U.S. Open . . . unless she was already on their radar.
And of course, there was an even BIGGER viral campaign to give "WEIRD AL" YANKOVIC the gig four years ago . . . and nothing came of that. Which is really unfortunate, because you KNOW that would be a blast.
