Kelly Clarkson had an exciting and spontaneous karaoke moment in Las Vegas! The 41-year-old singer, known for her hit song "Mine," delighted her fans by sharing a heartwarming video on Instagram. While she was in Las Vegas for the iHeartRadio Music Festival, Kelly stumbled upon a street musician singing a Tina Turner cover.

Dressed incognito in black leggings, a long-sleeved shirt, and a baseball cap, Kelly kept her superstar identity a secret until she began to sing. She captioned the video, "I was on my way to soundcheck for @iHeartRadio tonight in Vegas and was tipping this incredible woman killing some Tina Turner. And then she asked me to sing and had no clue who I was, and then it hit her, and it made my day! She gives the best hugs and sings her tail off!"

In the adorable clip, the street performer joyfully danced along as Kelly belted out the lyrics to "What's Love Got to Do With It." It took her a few moments to realize that the mysterious singer was none other than the American Idol alum herself. Kelly burst into laughter, and the two shared a warm embrace.

Ryan Seacrest, who hosted the iHeartRadio Music Festival, also chimed in on the post, praising the impromptu performance with a "So good ????????" comment.

ET's Cassie DiLaura caught up with Kelly backstage on Sunday, where she couldn't contain her enthusiasm, exclaiming, "I love Vegas!"

Kelly's recent activities included the release of the deluxe edition of her album, Chemistry, on Friday. The album features a touching collaboration with her 9-year-old daughter, River Rose, on the song "You Don't Make Me Cry." In this emotional track, Kelly sings about resilience and independence, expressing her preference for solitude over heartache.

Kelly shared on Twitter that her daughter began recording the song when she was just 5 years old, highlighting their special bond. This isn't the first time Kelly has teamed up with her children; in 2019, River starred in her mother's music video for "Broken & Beautiful." More recently, both of Kelly's kids, River and 7-year-old Remington, joined her on stage during her Las Vegas residency for a performance of "Heartbeat Song."

Kelly initially released Chemistry in June and followed it up with the release of "Roses" earlier this month. The deluxe edition of Chemistry includes new tracks such as "I Won't Give Up," "Did You Know," and "Goodbye." It also features a live version and a remix of "Mine" and a remix of "Favorite Kind of High."
