\u201cThis chick is amazing,\u201d Clarkson, 42, said of Gaga, who co-wrote the song for the romantic that she starred alongside Cooper.\n
\u201cThis song, I love it\u2026I thought she and Bradley Cooper did such an awesome job with this song, it\u2019s called \u2018Shallow\u2019 and so we\u2019re doing to do our own version of it because obviously I don\u2019t have a Bradley Cooper here.\u201d\n
\u201cI hope I don\u2019t suck, and if I do, I hope she doesn\u2019t see it,\u201d Clarkson added, according to People.\n
Her cover was seen by millions of fans, who praised her \u201ceffortless vocals.\u201d\n
\u201cShe sings it like she wrote it herself!!! Beautiful,\u201d shares one fan on Clarkson\u2019s YouTube clip.\n
\u201cThis cover still gives me chills. Simply the best,\u201d shares a second, while a third jokes: \u201cIs there any grammy category for covers? You did a great job Kelly.\u201d\n
Jam session\n
Then, a couple of years later, country music icon Garth Brooks stopped by the Kelly Clarkson Show for a jam session with the host.\n
But first, the \u201cDive Bar\u201d singer told Clarkson about his 2020 duet \u2013 \u201cShallow\u201d \u2013 that he performed with his wife Trisha Yearwood.\n
\u201cI actually saw y\u2019all do this [on Facebook] \u2013 it was live in the moment. You were doing some live thing. Is that how it all started?\u201d The American Idol star asks her guest, adding that the song is a highlight of Brooks\u2019 album, \u201cFun.\u201d\n
\n
Brooks, who turned 63 on February 7, explains that \u201csomebody requested that him and his wife sing the duet on his Facebook Live show.\n
\u201cMiss Yearwood knew what she was doing, so I was like, \u2018Oh, crap.\u2019 I\u2019d seen the movie \u2013 it\u2019s pretty cool,\u201d Brooks said, strumming bars from the song on his guitar.\n
\u201cIt invites you in\u2026I love it,\u201d Clarkson gushes.\n
\u2018Fabulous\u2019
\nAnd then the country legend invites her to sing along. \u201cI would love to hear you sing,\u201d he said.\n
\u201cI would love to sing it with you. Sorry Trisha,\u201d she joked. \u201cYou\u2019re not here and if you were here, I\u2019d sing three-part.\u201d\n
After the breathtaking performance, the singer locked eyes with the camera and addressing his wife, he said: \u201cMiss Yearwood I didn\u2019t enjoy that,\u201d before turning away and commenting, \u201cThat was fabulous!\u201d\n
\u2018Musical chemistry\u2019\n
The performance was intimate yet powerful. With Clarkson\u2019s soaring vocals and Brooks\u2019 signature storytelling tone, the two created a version of \u2018Shallow\u2019 that felt both raw and authentic. The contrast between Clarkson\u2019s contemporary pop style and Brooks\u2019 deep, classic country sound made for a magical blend that resonated deeply with fans across genres.\n
\u201cKelly doesn\u2019t just sing a song, she makes you [feel] it and understand it,\u201d writes one fan in the comments section of the YouTube video.\n
\u201cThe musical chemistry between Kelly and Garth is off-the-charts and I desperately want a real duet single from them,\u201d writes a second.\n
\u201cI can sit here and just listen to them sing all day. They are both so talented and have great personalities. This was so much fun to watch!\u201d offers a third.\n
Another adds of the chilling performance, \u201cAs Garth began, it gave me goosebumps. Kelly came on strong and sounds wonderful. Great duo on a wonderful song. Thanks to you both.\u201d\n
