Before Kelly Clarkson hits a venue, they Facebook and Twitter the fans asking what song they would like her to cover. When the fans suggested Carrie Underwood's "Blown Away", Kelly was all over it. It's a hot song right now, nearing the number one spot on the Country Charts this week. Congrats, Carrie!

Kelly Clarkson continues to inch closer to becoming a bona fide country music superstar, recently announcing plans to claim full-time residency in Nashville. Despite her allegiance to the Lone Star State, the current CMA Awards nominee has placed her Texas estate on the market, and is currently in the process of finding a home in Music City.
Kelly Clarkson continues to rock country music covers at the request of her fans. Most recently, she put on a rendition of a true classic country tune. At a gig in Indianapolis on Sunday night (Sept. 2), Clarkson gave Tammy Wynette‘s ‘Stand by Your Man’ the special treatment.
August 14, 2012 Kelly Clarkson, the original FIRST American Idol, is no stranger to Country music. She sang her song "Because of You" as a duet with the legendary Reba McEntire. At first I thought that was strange, until I saw this video of Kelly talking about Trisha Yearwood and how her voice is straight from God. Then, covers Trisha's "Walkaway Joe".
With a recent pair of high-profile network performances on Sunday night’s (May 20) Billboard Music Awards and the season finale of the wildly popular ‘Dancing With the Stars,’ it’s hard not to notice a more trim and toned Kelly Clarkson. What is the catalyst behind the the weight loss? According to a recent interview with PEOPLE, her new man is a driving force behind her more slender figure.
May 12, 2012 A video featuring cancer-stricken children, their nurses, doctors and parents lip-synching and dancing to the popular Kelly Clarkson song “Stronger” is creating a web sensation, and is an inspiration.

Three artists with ties to country music will be amongst the four celebrities to star on ‘Duets,’ a new ABC series that pairs amateurs with well-known singers. Sugarland‘s Jennifer Nettles will join Kelly Clarkson, Lionel Richie and Robin Thicke on the competition show this summer.
Maybe someone forgot to put fresh batteries in Jason Aldean‘s microphone, because the singer’s voice went silent during his duet performance of ‘Don’t You Wanna Stay’ at the 2012 Grammy Awards on Sunday night. What started as a wonderful collaboration became an awkward moment that Aldean and Kelly Clarkson managed to make the most of.
For years Kelly Clarkson‘s dalliance in country music has been little more than a playful tease. She shows up from time to time, suggesting that she’d consider crossing over at some point but then disappears. The emergence of a countrified version of her recent hit ‘Mr. Know it All’ could indicate she’s finally ready to make the next move.
The last time Kelly Clarkson cut a duet with a country star, the result was her number one hit with Jason Aldean, ‘Don’t You Wanna Stay,’ so it’s only natural that, during a recent Web chat, she was asked if she’d consider teaming up with any other artists.
As it turns out, Clarkson had already considered the question — and she’d love to return to Nashville for a duet with Miranda Lambert.
