KELLY Clarkson fans have been left in stitches after a member of the singer’s staff accidentally posted a private message on her Instagram.
The star shared a thank you post online after winning two separate Daytime Emmy awards on Friday night.

The singer-turned-host won both Outstanding Daytime Talk Series and Outstanding Daytime Talk Series Host but she was not in attendance to collect the awards.
After the ceremony ended, a touching thank you message was published to Kelly’s Instagram and her fans were quick to point out a blunder.
“Jake, do you mind getting this up for Kelly tonight?” read the beginning of her caption.
Kelly’s staff member who shared the post apparently included a message at the top that was just for him.

The post went on to say: “I am so proud of my whole team for our wins tonight!! Thank you to all of the people that started this show with us and to all of those who joined us this season!
“Thank you to all of the guests and fans that take time out of their lives and schedules to come hang with us!
“We are beyond blessed, and grateful, and so thankful for our new family and friends at 30 Rock who have been so supportive of our new home.”
Less than half an hour later, the post was edited to take out the top line addressed to Jake.
Those who caught a glimpse at the post before the edit flooded the comment section with hilarious messages to and about Jake.
“Jake, deserves a raise [crying laughing emoji] this late on a Friday night,” commented one fan.
“Thanks for getting this up, Jake. Social team don’t sleep,” wrote a second person.
“Proud of you, Jake! You’re killing it!” a third said.
And a fourth added: “gonna need a jake reveal [crying emoji].”
Kelly’s account even addressed the mistake and its comedic potential.
“And just a personal thank you and shout out to Jake for just simply killing it. I have never laughed so hard!! We all love you, Jake ha!” a comment from Kelly’s account said, though there is no telling if it was Jake himself.
“Did you write this too, Jake?!” accused a follower.
Other commenters who missed the hilarious mess-up were a bit in the dark, writing: “What did Jake say?! What’d I miss??”
Kelly shared a follow-up post of her crew at the award ceremony and the congratulations from fans continued to pour in, as did the confusion over Jake.
“who is jake? i’ve seen comments about him all night, what r yall talking abt?” a fan commented.
