Kelly Clarkson’s 2005 MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) performance of “Since U Been Gone” was one of her career-defining live appearances. Held in Miami at the American Airlines Arena, Clarkson’s performance brought a high-energy, rock-infused rendition of her hit breakup anthem.
As she delivered powerful vocals, rain began pouring down on the stage, mirroring her music video’s visual intensity. Although Clarkson wasn’t initially supposed to be drenched in the rain, she embraced the moment, adding to the spontaneity and impact of her performance. This decision resonated deeply with fans and music industry figures alike, cementing the performance as iconic.
Clarkson’s bold move to embrace the rain amplified the emotional weight of “Since U Been Gone,” a song about liberation from a toxic relationship. Released on her album Breakaway, the track showcased her rock influence and helped shift her image from reality TV star to established pop-rock artist.
This live VMAs performance helped Clarkson win Best Female Video and Best Pop Video that night, and her powerful stage presence earned her acclaim across the music industry, inspiring even years later.
