Kelly Clarkson Blames Dallas Cowboys Owner Jerry Jones for Team’s Losing Streak

Kelly Clarkson is fed up with the Dallas Cowboys’ ongoing losing streak, and she’s not holding back in sharing her opinion on why the team continues to fall short. The “Because Of You” singer, a long-time fan of the Cowboys, has found the root of the problem—and it’s none other than the team’s owner, Jerry Jones.

During an interview on the Thursday, March 27 episode of the Not Gonna Lie podcast with Kylie Kelce, Clarkson opened up about her frustrations with the Cowboys’ performance, specifically their failure to even make the playoffs last season. For Clarkson, the repeated failure to reach the postseason comes down to one key issue: Jerry Jones.

“I just read something with my sister and I guess Jerry Jones had said, ‘Well, now is the time,’” Clarkson said, referring to a recent statement made by Jones. “And I was like, ‘Oh, OK. It was different from the last ‘now’s the time.’ Very different from last year’s time, which was also the time.”

This comment seemed to sum up Clarkson’s sentiments perfectly. The singer explained how Jones’ annual proclamations that “this is the year” have become a running joke among Cowboys fans, with every season seeming to be billed as the one where the team will break through. However, despite the high expectations year after year, the team’s performance has been lackluster, with a growing sense of disillusionment setting in among long-time supporters.

The Frustration of a Long-Time Fan

Clarkson, who has been a Cowboys fan for as long as she can remember, voiced her frustration over the team’s inability to live up to its potential. “Our team is probably one of the most hated,” she admitted. “Because I also think, too, we’re always so hopeful. I don’t think there’s been more dreamers since the ‘90s. Every year is our year.”

For Cowboys fans like Clarkson, the unfulfilled optimism and the constant cycle of hope followed by disappointment have become all too familiar. The team, which was once a dominant force in the NFL during the ’90s, has failed to regain its former glory, leading to a mix of frustration and bitterness among those who once believed the team could reclaim its championship pedigree.

Clarkson’s comments reflect the broader sentiment within the Cowboys’ fanbase, who often find themselves holding out hope year after year, only to watch the team come up short. Whether it’s the lack of consistency in leadership or the inability to get past key hurdles, Cowboys fans are growing weary of hearing that “this is the year” without seeing any tangible results.

Jerry Jones’ Leadership Under Scrutiny

The criticism of Jerry Jones is nothing new. As the owner of the Cowboys, Jones has long been a polarizing figure. While some praise his passion and commitment to the team, others, like Clarkson, question his decision-making and his role in the team’s lack of success. Jones’ tendency to make bold statements about the team’s prospects each season has created an image of a franchise that is perpetually on the verge of greatness, only to falter when it counts most.

For Clarkson, it seems that Jones’ repeated assurances and his influence over the team are a major part of the problem. Rather than focusing on creating a sustainable winning culture, the Cowboys’ franchise appears stuck in a cycle of unrealistic expectations and empty promises.

Cowboys Fans Stand Behind Their Team

Despite Clarkson’s frustrations, it’s clear that she, like many fans, remains deeply loyal to the Cowboys. The team’s die-hard supporters continue to root for the team, hoping that one day the franchise will rise again and reclaim its status as one of the NFL’s most successful organizations.

In the interview, Clarkson also acknowledged that the Cowboys’ fanbase remains full of optimism, even if it often feels unfulfilled. “We’re always so hopeful,” she said, “and every year, we believe it’s going to be our year.” Her comments highlight the unshakable faith that many Cowboys fans still hold, despite the team’s recent struggles.

Will the Cowboys Break the Curse?

As the 2025 NFL season approaches, the pressure is on for Jerry Jones and the Dallas Cowboys to finally deliver on the promises of success that have been made year after year. For players, coaches, and fans alike, the question remains: can the Cowboys break free from their long-standing rut and prove that this is truly their year?

Whether or not the team can overcome its challenges and live up to the expectations of its passionate fanbase remains to be seen. But for now, fans like Kelly Clarkson continue to watch from the sidelines, hoping that this season will finally bring the Cowboys back to their former glory.
