Kelly Clarkson is known for wowing audiences with her soulful ballads, and last weekend she used her powerful vocal chords to take on Sam Smith‘s “Stay With Me.”
“I just like the word ‘stay’ in songs, so I’m just going to sing it in every song,” Clarkson told the crowd at a concert in Symphony Park in Chicago. She had just finished performing her song “Don’t You Wanna Stay,” the popular hit she originally recorded with Jason Aldean.
The new mom then belted out an absolutely beautiful version of Smith’s song — listen to her cover below.
