Kelly Clarkson enchanted her fans with a spellbinding rendition of her beloved 2013 holiday hit, “Underneath The Tree” at the Grand Ole Opry last week (and no, we’re not over it!)
Along with her captivating vocals, the Grammy winner, 41, also commanded attention at the historic Nashville venue with an exquisite off-the-shoulder black gown, featuring flirtatious cutouts at the top and a magnificent ballgown skirt. In addition, she stepped out in sleek, open-toe black sandal heels.

The Chemistry singer completed her ensemble with a combination of chunky, multicolored rings, a glittery silver chain necklace, and sparkly diamond stud earrings. She styled her hair in a luxurious and elegant Old Hollywood-inspired fashion, with her side-parted dirty blonde tresses worn in meticulously crafted curls. The icing on the cake was Clarkson’s choice of a classic ruby red lipstick (that matched her scarlet mani), smokey silver eyeshadow, and black winged eyeliner, topped with sky-high lashes.
The Kelly Clarkson Show host shared a clip of her performance in a joint Instagram post along with NBC for her 7.4 million followers.
Fans were quick to applaud her powerhouse voice, stage presence and of course, her epic style choices in the comment section.
"Looking fabulous," one wrote as another added: "Looking good. Sounding great." Someone else commented: "Beautiful, perfection & my favorite holiday song!" as one other noted: "Beautiful voice, soul, love, and light."
Clarkson's infectious and danceable Christmas anthem, "Underneath The Tree," is off her 2013 holiday album, Wrapped in Red. The record also features an impressive lineup of Christmas standards and carol covers, including fun duets with fellow pop and country hitmakers like Ronnie Dunn, Reba McEntire and Trisha Yearwood.
This week, Clarkson also garnered praise from her fanbase for her covers of the 1970 song, "This Christmas" by Donny Hathaway and Cher's 2023 track, "DJ Play A Christmas Song" on her self-titled talk show.

Cher, 77, sweetly responded to Clarkson's performance and tweeted: "KELLY,,,,U ACED IT‼️ U GOT THE GIRL.VERSION OF MY VOICE."
She added: "BABE,I AM OUT OF MY MIND OVER UR VERSION..THE MODULATION GAVE ME …I DONT KNOW, I JUST LOST MY MIND‼️ SISTER U GOT IT."
Once again, we find ourselves asking the eternal question... is there anything Clarkson can't sing and make her own? We, along with her fans and Cher, really don't think so, tbh.
