Elevator eyes is the slang expression Kelly Clarkson used for the up-and-down look she says staff at Art of Play gave her during her visit — the visual once-over that silently sizes up a person’s clothes, wealth and worthiness. The phrase landed because almost every shopper knows the feeling, famous or not. Clarkson’s account turned those two words into shorthand for the whole feud, while the store’s version described a routine exchange about an artwork.
