Kelly Clarkson surprised a busker in Las Vegas while on her way to sound check for her performance at the 2023 iHeartRadio Music Festival.
The 41-year-old American Idol winner – who recently declared she is single – shared the funny moment with fans on Saturday when she posted a clip to Instagram.
Clarkson wrote in the caption to her 7.1 million followers: ‘I was on my way to soundcheck for @iHeartRadio tonight in Vegas and tipped this incredible woman who killed some Tina Turner and then she asked me to sing and had no idea who I was. ‘
She added, “And then it hit her, and it made my day!” She gives the best hugs and sings her tail off! See you tonight Vegas ❤️ #iHeartFestival2023.’
Kelly appeared dressed up in the clip, wearing a black baseball cap, leggings and a long-sleeved shirt.
