Kelly Clarkson’s Sweetest Performances: A Dog Duet and a Family Encore
“My Way” with Remy the French Bulldog
On The Kelly Clarkson Show, a lighthearted segment turned into something magical: a duet of Frank Sinatra’s “My Way” between Kelly and a French bulldog named Remy.
The setting was intimate. Kelly sat on the stage steps, cradling the fawn-colored pup in her arms. Remy, dressed in a tiny blue bandana, looked the part of a star-in-the-making. The band played a soft, understated arrangement, worlds away from Sinatra’s grand delivery.
Kelly sang with hushed tenderness—not as a powerhouse vocalist, but as a friend serenading her dog. The magic came in Remy’s response. Instead of random barking, he offered soft, melodic whimpers, almost perfectly timed to the rhythm, as if he truly felt the emotion of the song.
The highlight arrived at the iconic line. Kelly paused instead of singing “I did it my way.” Right on cue, Remy let out a soulful, mournful howl—landing beautifully on the note. The audience erupted in cheers, and Kelly beamed with delight, laughing in surprise at her unexpected duet partner.
It was more than a cute television moment. The sincerity, the gentle arrangement, and the way the song’s theme of a life well-lived was applied to a beloved pet gave the performance surprising emotional weight. It was proof that the most touching moments are often the unplanned ones, sung straight from the heart.
“Heartbeat Song” with Her Children
During a performance of “Heartbeat Song” at Las Vegas’s Bakkt Theater on August 19, 2023, Clarkson’s concert became a viral highlight—thanks to two very special guests: her children.
As the pop anthem filled the venue, River Rose and Remington Alexander shyly emerged from the wings. Kelly’s face lit up as she dropped to her knees, meeting them eye to eye. She shared her microphone with her beaming daughter while her son waved enthusiastically to the cheering crowd.
The polished concert transformed into a family celebration. The three bounced and swayed together to the rhythm, the stage glowing not just with lights but with genuine joy. It was unscripted, unfiltered, and unforgettable.
In that moment, the superstar image melted away, replaced by a mother enjoying music with her children. For Kelly Clarkson, the greatest encore wasn’t applause—it was a hug from her biggest fans, who also happen to be her kids.
