Kelly Clarkson showed off her rock n' roll side and gave a new flavor to Ed Sheeran's "Shivers."
On Tuesday, Clarkson graced the stage again with a new cover during her "The Kelly Clarkson Show" Kellyoke series. This time, Sheeran's "Shivers" received a harder edge as Clarkson's band, Y'all, accompanied her with drum fills and electric guitar background.
As her outstanding performances in Kellyoke continue to take over the internet, her fans expressed their desire to see the singer release an album with all the covers she did in her show.
One fan said, "Kelly can take a song and make it even better than the original! She needs to release an album of her covers of Kellyoke!"
"Kelly needs to release an album of covers called 'Kelly Clarkson Sings Other Artist's Songs Better Than They Do,'" another jokingly said.
As of press time, the clip - which was also shared by The Kelly Clarkson Show's YouTube Channel - already earned more than 11,000 views.
Before unleashing her Sheeran vibes, Clarkson recently performed the war-themed track, "99 Red Balloons." The song felt timely due to the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
Ed Sheeran is Back on Charts!
Clarkson seemingly made Sheeran return to the charts again.
On Tuesday, Billboard confirmed that the singer secured No. 1 on the Billboard Artist 100 chart for March 5 due to the continued success of his album, "=" and his singles including "Bad Habits." As of press time, Sheeran's album ranks 11th on the Billboard 200. MRC Data confirmed that it sold over 24,000 equivalent album units.
While Sheeran enjoys attention and success nowadays, he also took his time to explain why he released "Bad Habits" first before "Shivers."
In an interview with GQ, he revealed that "Shivers" helped him decide to name his album "=" instead of "-". For what it's worth, he has released albums +, x, and ÷ in the past years.
According to Sheeran, "Shivers" does not feel like it belongs to - album. The same thing goes for his other song, "Overpass Graffiti."
He shared the same sentiments in a 2021 Instagram post, saying that "Bad Habits" and "Shivers" felt like they belonged to different seasons. Sheeran said "Shivers" was supposed to be the lead single of the album instead of "Bad Habits." But since it felt like it was a song for summer while "Shivers" was for autumn, he dropped "Bad Habits" first.
