Tori Kelly Talks Simon Cowell Calling Her 'Annoying' on 'American Idol' With Kelly Clarkson: Watch

"I think that was like 10 years ago now, so it’s funny that people are still finding that audition but it was the most amazing experience," Kelly replied. "I don’t regret anything and I think Simon is cool. No hard feelings. I actually should thank him because it all happened for a reason."

The duo then discussed Kelly's recent album, Inspired By True Events, and the "true events" that went into making the record. "It was kind of crazy season for me in my personal life," she explained. "A lot of brokenness within my family. My grandfather actually passed away and on top of all that, on a much happier note, I got married too. It was a lot in the span of a couple years. I didn’t know any better way to express those emotions than to put it in my year."

"I think it brought out a new style of songwriting for me," she continued. "Looking back, I think I’m going to be like, ‘Oh, that’s my growing up album.’"
