Yes. July 2023 was not easy for the Dear No One singer. As she prepared with a hectic schedule for a new release of her album EP, the overwhelming work experiences led to a major health downfall. 

The songwriter was hospitalized for life-threatening blood clots. As soon as she was discharged, the TOGETHER singer immediately jumped back into her work schedule. Kelly said in an interview with People, "That moment was so surreal." She also added, "I'm in the hospital and I just remember saying to everyone, 'Hey, I'm getting out of here, right? I got stuff to do. My EP is coming out in a few days.' They were like, 'Probably not. We need to keep you here, make sure you're good.'" But Kelly recovered quickly.
