Kelly Clarkson’s Talent Is ‘Chemical’ With This Post Malone Cover

Kelly Clarkson has proved once again that she can truly sing anything.

The superstar opened her eponymous talk show on Tuesday (April 30) with a cover of Post Malone’s “Chemical.” Dressed in a band tee, a red maxi skirt and a sleek ponytail, Clarkson effortlessly hit the chorus’ high notes, backed by her instrumentalists, whom she affectionately calls My Band Y’All.

“Outside of the party, smokin’ in the car with you/ Seven Nation Army, fightin’ at the bar with you/ Tell you that I’m sorry, tell me what I gotta do/ ‘Cause I can’t let go, it’s chemical,” she sings on the track, which was featured on Post’s 2023 self-titled album, Austin.

Post Malone took the stage with Morgan Wallen when the latter headlined Stagecoach on Sunday night (April 28), and the duo performed a new song called “I Had Some Help.” Post previously teased the uptempo track on social media, highlighting lyrics such as “I had some help/ It ain’t like I can make this kind of mess all by myself/ Don’t act like you ain’t help me pull that bottle off the shelf … they say teamwork makes the dream work.”

Wallen and Malone have yet to reveal a release date for the collaboration. In the meantime, watch Kelly Clarkson perform Post Malone’s “Chemical” below.
