Kelly Clarkson is known for her powerful voice and her hit songs, but she also has a big heart. On a recent trip to Vegas, the singer-songwriter surprised an unsuspecting street musician with an impromptu duet.
Clarkson shared a video on Instagram Sept. 23 that showed her singing along with a woman, who apparently didn’t recognize Clarkson, who was on her way to the iHeart Radio Music Festival over the weekend.
“I was on my way to soundcheck for @iHeartRadio tonight in Vegas and was tipping this incredible woman killing some Tina Turner and then she asked me to sing and had no clue who I was, and then it hit her, and it made my day!” Clarkson captioned the video.
“She gives the best hugs and sings her tail off! See ya tonight Vegas,” she concluded her post, adding a red heart emoji.
In the posted video, Clarkson gets on the karaoke microphone outside and belts out the chorus of Turner’s 1984 hit, “What’s Love Got to Do With It?” while the woman dances and claps along.
As Clarkson finishes singing, the two embrace and the woman appears to take a step back in shock, realizing that it was the three-time Grammy Award winner on the mic.
Ryan Seacrest commented, “So good” with the clapping hands emoji.
“And this is why you will forever be Americas #1 American Idol,” one fan commented of the 2004 singing competition show winner.
“You can see the moment she realizes it’s you,” another wrote with two laughing emoji, adding, “so funny.”
Clarkson’s fans just flocked to New York City’s Rockefeller Center to catch a glimpse of the live performance, with several gushing about their love for Clarkson to TODAY.com.
“All of her new songs just totally touched my heart,” fan Lynn Bellia said. “Every one hits home of what she went through and I feel like it’s what I went through and it’s touching.”
