Kelly Clarkson put her own spin on a Selena Gomez classic.
On the Tuesday, Feb. 3 episode of The Kelly Clarkson Show, the talk show host covered the Rare Beauty founder's 2015 hit "Hands to Myself" — and added some flair.
Initially, Clarkson, 43, kicks off the track with airy vocals, before she eventually delivers an impassioned chorus.
As the "Since U Been Gone" hitmaker's vocals soar, her backing band gave Gomez's track a grittier edge.

"That was 'Hands to Myself' released by Ms. Selena Gomez in 2015. It marked her fifth, consecutive top 10 hit. So, she's…doin' all right," Clarkson told the audience following her performance.
On Monday, Feb. 2, the "Breakaway" musician announced that The Kelly Clarkson Show would be coming to an end after seven seasons.

In a statement posted to her Instagram account, Clarkson revealed why she planned to take a step back.
“I have been extremely fortunate to work with such an outstanding group of people at ‘The Kelly Clarkson Show,' both in Los Angeles and New York,” she wrote. “There have been so many amazing moments and shows over these seven seasons."
Clarkson continued, "I am forever grateful and honored to have worked alongside the greatest band and crew you could hope for, all the talent and inspiring people who have shared their time and lives with us, all the fans who have supported our show and to NBC for always being such a supportive and incredible partner."
She then shared that the decision will allow her to "prioritize" her kids. "This was not an easy decision, but this season will be my last hosting ‘The Kelly Clarkson Show,’" Clarkson wrote. "Stepping away from the daily schedule will allow me to prioritize my kids, which feels necessary and right for this next chapter of our lives."
The end of The Kelly Clarkson Show comes months after the death of the three-time Grammy winner's ex-husband, talent manager Brandon Blackstock, in August due to cancer.
Clarkson shares daughter River Rose, 11, and son Remington Alexander, 9, with her late ex-husband.
The Kelly Clarkson Show will continue airing through fall 2026.
