Kelly Clarkson has proved once again that she can truly sing anything.
The superstar opened her eponymous talk show on Tuesday (April 30) with a cover of Post Malone’s “Chemical.” Dressed in a band tee, a red maxi skirt and a sleek ponytail, Clarkson effortlessly hit the chorus’ high notes, backed by her instrumentalists, whom she affectionately calls My Band Y’All.
“Outside of the party, smokin’ in the car with you/ Seven Nation Army, fightin’ at the bar with you/ Tell you that I’m sorry, tell me what I gotta do/ ‘Cause I can’t let go, it’s chemical,” she sings on the track, which was featured on Post’s 2023 self-titled album, Austin.
Post Malone took the stage with Morgan Wallen when the latter headlined Stagecoach on Sunday night (April 28), and the duo performed a new song called “I Had Some Help.” Post previously teased the uptempo track on social media, highlighting lyrics such as “I had some help/ It ain’t like I can make this kind of mess all by myself/ Don’t act like you ain’t help me pull that bottle off the shelf … they say teamwork makes the dream work.”
Wallen and Malone have yet to reveal a release date for the collaboration. In the meantime, watch Kelly Clarkson perform Post Malone’s “Chemical” below.
