Kelly Clarkson Performs An ‘Utterly Beautiful’ Rendition Of Will Swinton’s “Flames”
Most fans of The Kelly Clarkson Show look forward to the singer-songwriter’s ‘Kellyoke’ segment, where she performs covers of her own songs or other artists’ songs she’s been loving. The segment went viral after the internet noticed that Kelly sometimes sang other musicians’ songs better than they could, warning today’s artists to be careful of ‘Kellyoke.’
On Tuesday, March 18th, the daytime host returned to her show after a two-week hiatus and chose to sing New Zealand-born singer Will Swinton’s 2024 song, “Flames.” Dressed in a chic brown belted midi-dress and knee-high boots, Kelly belted out the tune after giving Will a quick shoutout, encouraging her audience to listen to his music.
After her striking ‘Kellyoke’ performance aired, The Kelly Clarkson Show quickly posted the firey number to their Instagram account, sending the internet into a frenzy.
Fans React To Kelly's Powerful Return To 'Kellyoke'
The March 18th episode of The Kelly Clarkson Show was the first time fans had seen her on air since she took an unexpected two-week break from the show that had begun in late February. The show managed to book several guest hosts, including comedian Roy Wood Jr., actor Simu Liu, and actress Brooke Sheilds. However, some viewers became skeptical due to the vague explanations for Kelly's absence.
Since her last-minute break, there have been reports that the mom of two was handling a personal situation that did not directly involve her, but Kelly herself hasn't given many detailed answers. When she made her comeback and wowed her audience with her "Flames" cover, she received a lot of praise just in time for her show's 1000th episode special.
One fan commented on the show's viral Instagram post, writing that it gave them "goosebumps" and that the cover was "utterly beautiful."
"She is truly a special lady with a voice that cannot be unmatched," commented another adoring fan.
Other followers of the show and its original host had things to say about her "beautiful" look, but mostly, everyone was relieved to see her doing well and continuing to stand on stage like a star.
"So glad you are back," wrote one Instagram user. "So sorry you had to deal with stuff. We love you." Fans of the American Idol winner are still waiting for a more substantial explanation for her leaving, but now that she's back, they're certainly loving her new content.
