According to TMZ, Kelly’s heart suddenly “started beating really fast,” and she eventually passed out. The 30-year-old singer was reportedly “out for a while” and was taken to the hospital by her friends in her car instead of an ambulance. Her friends explained that they “wanted to make sure she wasn’t taken to a hospital downtown.”

The “Masterpiece” singer is currently in the ICU getting extensive care after the doctors discovered blood clots in her legs and lungs. She is presently being examined for other blood clots around her vital organs, including her heart, with one source stressing that the situation is “really serious.”
