Kelly Clarkson + Teddy Swims Perform Duet On The Kelly Clarkson Show | WATCH HERE!
Kelly Clarkson brought R&B singer Teddy Swims to the Kelly Clarkson Show on December 10, where the two sang a gripping duet of Swims’ hit “Lose Control.”
During the performance, Swims sang the emotional lyrics in a husky tone while Clarkson’s voice was powerful as always, but managed to blend in with his perfectly. Check it out below!
Originally from Georgia, Swims (born Jaten Dimsdale) began to gain traction in the 2010s with his YouTube covers which highlighted his soulful voice. Then, he made it big when he dropped his debut studio album I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy in September 2023. The lead single off the album, “Lose Control”, reached the number 39 position on the Billboard Hot 100.
In the interview with Clarkson, Swims explained how the lyrics to “Lose Control” are about not letting your happiness depend on another person. He also talked about how he hopes his work can encourage others to take care of their mental health, and how he plans to use therapy to cope with experiencing fame.
“If I start that conversation, hopefully it’ll inspire somebody else to go get the help and do the work for themselves,” he said. “On this rocket ship that I’m currently on, I want someone to help me navigate that,” he added.
Clarkson’s advice as a longtime A-lister? Set boundaries. Learn to say “no.”
