Kelly Clarkson Goes Viral Again With ‘Waitress’ Tribute

Kelly Clarkson has gone viral again with her tribute to Waitress, the Musical.

Following a request, via Twitter, from the Broadway production of Waitress, Kelly Clarkson performed the musical’s anthem, “She Used to Be Mine” on a recent broadcast of The Kelly Clarkson Show.

American Idol winner and talk-show host Clarkson subsequently chatted virtually with Ciara Renée, the final actor to play pie-maker Jenna in the recent Broadway production of Waitress. Watch Clarkson’s performance and the brief chat above.

Here are some of our favorite Tweets reacting to this incredible performance.

if i were hollywood i would simply produce a film adaptation of the musical starring Kelly Clarkson and have Sara write a new song for her and give Kelly a writing credit and they both win an academy award and maybe we’ll all finally know happiness https://t.co/h5oDUsQ3bZ

Kelly belted out the emotional lyrics as a pair of dancers behind her twirled across a diner set. She then invited Ciara Renée, who stars as Jenna, to come on the show for an interview (at the time of taping, the musical hadn’t yet closed)
