In recent news, Kelly Clarkson, the talented daytime talk show host, performed a captivating cover of one of Miley Cyrus' hit songs during her popular segment called Kellyoke. Taking the stage in front of a live studio audience, Clarkson showcased her own rendition of Cyrus' 2023 hit song, 'Jaded.'
Clarkson's performance of 'Jaded' began with powerful lyrics, 'I don't wanna call and talk too long / I know it was wrong, but never said I was sorry / Now I've had time to think it over / We're much older and the bone's too big to bury.' Donning a vibrant multi-color, color-block dress, she was accompanied by her talented band as the studio lights were set to a calming shade of purple, setting the perfect tone for the performance.
Fans and viewers expressed their enthusiasm for Clarkson's musical covers, complimenting her for continuously improving and delivering exceptional performances. One commenter on a YouTube clip of her performance wrote, 'GIRL. Keep doing your thang. The covers keep getting better and better!'
Surprisingly, this is not the first time Clarkson has covered one of Cyrus' songs this month. On January 11, the renowned singer and former American Idol winner performed another recent release from Cyrus' music collection called 'Used to Be Young' during the Kellyoke segment.
'Used to Be Young,' which was introduced to the world in August 2023, reflects on Cyrus' past partying days and highlights her personal growth over time. The song was part of a collaborative effort between Cyrus and fellow Disney Channel alum Selena Gomez, where they released new music on the same day. To generate excitement, Gomez shared a throwback clip of herself appearing on Cyrus' hit television series, Hannah Montana, as rival Mikayla Skeech.
Both 'Used to Be Young' and 'Jaded' can be found on Cyrus' latest studio album, Endless Summer Vacation, which was released in March 2023. The album has received positive reviews from fans and critics alike, showcasing Cyrus' musical growth and versatility.
In addition to her musical accomplishments, Cyrus recently celebrated the one-year anniversary of her single 'Flowers,' which marked the beginning of the album's rollout. This heartfelt track not only spent eight weeks at the top of the U.S. Billboard charts but also reached the pinnacle of Spotify's charts, becoming the most-streamed song in a single week in the app's history.
Showing her gratitude, Cyrus took to social media to thank both Spotify and her incredible fans for their ongoing support and contribution to her success. In an Instagram post featuring a captivating black-and-white photo of herself with a flower, Cyrus captioned, 'One year ago today ‘Flowers’ started making people happy & that makes me happy. Love you. Thank you. XO MC.'
