Kelly Clarkson Brings Daughter River Rose Onstage for Duet During Las Vegas Residency — at the 11-Year-Old’s Request

Kelly Clarkson’s daughter, River Rose, had a “breakaway” moment alongside mom!

The Kelly Clarkson Show host, 43, surprised fans at her Studio Sessions residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas on Friday, July 18, with a special guest — her 11-year-old daughter — who came onto the stage to sing a duet with her.

Videos shared on X show the mother-daughter duo singing Clarkson’s “Heartbeat Song” in similar outfits, a black T-shirt with sparkly bedazzled words and pants. The pair can be seen dancing and swaying while holding microphones. 

At certain moments during the performance, Clarkson sweetly encouraged and hugged her daughter — whom she shares with ex-husband Brandon Blackstock — as they sang together. River Rose held her earpiece before really getting lost in the performance.

The fan who shared the video online also revealed what Clarkson told the audience before the duet: “So my daughter, River Rose, said to me, ‘I wanna sing tonight!’ ”   

This isn’t the first time the mother-daughter pair has performed the track, as Clarkson previously brought her daughter onstage to sing “Heartbeat Song” during a Las Vegas concert in August 2023.

Clarkson noted at the time that River Rose had been “jamming out to the song since she was a baby” and “loves this song so much.” She also shared that her daughter asked if she could come onstage and sing it with her. The pair wore matching dresses — with Clarkson in black and River Rose in white — for that performance. 

The Grammy winner isn’t afraid to integrate her two kids — she also shares 9-year-old son Remington “Remy” with Blackstock — into her shows. She previously gave them a shout-out during her July 12 concert.

“Y’all, I do have to say that I love that I’m probably embarrassing my kids. They’re like, ‘Stop talking.’ I hope y’all have fun. I am completely going to embarrass you with things that I say — you’re welcome, it builds character,” she told the crowd.

Clarkson kicked off her Las Vegas residency on July 11 after postponing its Fourth of July start date due to “prep and rehearsals” taking a toll on her voice.

Following her announcement about the postponement on Instagram, a source told PEOPLE that Clarkson “didn’t want to cancel any shows,” but had to in order to protect her vocal cords.

The star also wrapped season 6 of her daytime talk show in June, and teased in an Instagram post that viewers could expect a seventh season this fall.
