River Rosemight not let this one go anytime soon.
In an interview withEntertainment Tonightabout her upcoming filmUglyDolls,Kelly Clarksonrecalled a recent conversation with her 4½-year-old daughter in which she tried to explain the mechanics behind voicing an animated character. But the lesson ended up backfiring in a big way.
“I was explaining to her, because she was confused, and I said, ‘It’s my voice. Like, you know, like how Elsa and Anna, there’s a person that plays Elsa and Anna?’ And I didn’t get what I was doing!” said the singer andVoicecoach, 36.
“I pretty much crushed her dreams,” Clarkson admitted. “I didn’t really realize what I was doing.”

“But she’s very clever. She would’ve figured it out, after finding out that I’m [a voice inUglyDolls],” Clarkson insisted of her older child, joking, “I’m justifying it to make myself feel better.”
The initial moment of realization was still a difficult one for the mother of two, though, who told the outlet she “felt horrible”about muddling the fantasy a bitfor River.
“I saw her little face, and I just saw the wheels spinning and I was like, ‘Oh no! … But isn’t it exciting that you can meet the real girl that plays Elsa?’ ” she recounted toET. “I was like, ‘Let’s flip this into a positive!’ It was so sad.”

Despite the slight parenting snafu, River and her little brotherRemington “Remy” Alexanderhave had a fair share of Disney magic in their lives, evenvisiting Disneyland to celebrateRemy’s second birthday last year. (The little guy turned 3 this past Friday.)
And River is a big fan of one of the parks’ characters in particular: Gaston, fromBeauty and the Beast— much to her mother’s chagrin.
“Oh great soshe’s into bad boys at the age of 3this should be fun #Disneyland,” Clarkson hilariously captioned a January 2018 snapshot of River staring lovingly into the villain’s eyes in front of Cinderella Castle.
UglyDollsopens in theaters on May 3.
