Kelly Clarkson has always been a Swiftie, and she paid tribute to Taylor Swift on her daytime talk show Tuesday afternoon (Nov. 26) by performing a cover of “Lavender Haze” during her popular Kellyoke segment.

Dressed in a yellow top and patterned skirt, the star effortlessly hit Swift’s high notes in the chorus, singing, “I feel the lavender haze creepin’ up on me/ Surreal, I’m damned if I do give a damn what people say/ No deal, the 1950s s— they want from me/ I just wanna stay in that lavender haze.”

“Lavender Haze” appeared on Swift’s Billboard 200 chart-topping 2022 album, Midnights, and the song peaked at No. 2 on the Hot 100 songs chart. “I happened upon the phrase ‘lavender haze’ when I was watching Mad Men,” she previously explained of the track in her now-deleted “Midnights Mayhem With Me” video posted to Instagram. “I looked it up because I thought it sounded cool, and it turns out that it’s a common phrase used in the ’50s where they would describe being in love.”

She continued, “I guess theoretically, when you’re in the lavender haze, you’ll do anything to stay there and not let people bring you down off of that cloud. I think a lot of people have to deal with this now, not just ‘public figures,’ because we live in the era of social media. If the world finds out that you’re in love with somebody, they’re going to weigh in on it.”
