Kelly Clarkson delivered a heartfelt rendition of a Lainey Wilson ballad during her âKellyokeâ performance on The Kelly Clarkson Show on Tuesday (May 7).
Clarkson covered âTwo Story House,â a song that the reigning CMA Entertainer of the Year released in 2021, telling the story of how she and her sister grew up together and ultimately ended up pursuing different paths in life: âWe both looked out the same windows/ Wished on the same stars/ Hung our blue jeans in the same breeze, in the same backyard/ And how can two kids with the same raising/ Wind up on such different pages/ We all got our different callings/ Yeah, I guess that's why they call it/ A two-story house/ A two-story house.â
Itâs the latest time Clarkson has covered one of Wilsonâs songs (and many other songs by country artists) on her talk show or during a performance. She previously covered Wilsonâs hit single from her Grammy Award-winning Bell Bottom Country album, âHeart Like A Truck,â earning praise from the original artist.Â
Wilson appeared on The Kelly Clarkson Show in March, after recently attending one of Clarksonâs shows in Las Vegas. The Baskin, Louisiana-born powerhouse said when Clarkson performs, âyou can feel it from the top of your head to the tips of your toes with every ounce of you. And also, I know that you covered âHeart Like A Truck.â
âI just wanna tell you this... This is coming straight from my heart. Even when youâre up here just covering everybody elseâs songs, itâs not just like you just learned the words and you got up there. I mean, you are feeling it for everything that it is. I just wanna say thank you for doing that. That means so much to me that you got up there and sang âHeart Like A Truck.â âĻYouâre singing everybodyâs songs better than they sing âem!â
Clarkson has previously covered songs by Reba McEntire, Keith Whitley, Josh Turner, George Strait, Hank Williams Jr. and other country artists. Watch her performance of âTwo Story Houseâ here:
