Kelly Clarkson Performs ‘Heartbeat Song' With Daughter River Rose in Las Vegas
Kelly Clarkson's daughter, River Rose, is reaping the benefits of her mother being the artist behind her favorite song. During Clarkson's latest performance in her residency at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, the mother-daughter duo delivered a duet of 'Heartbeat Song' from her seventh studio album, Piece by Piece. 'Last night we had a very special guest — my daughter River Rose joined us for 'Heartbeat Song,'' Clarkson wrote on Instagram. 'It's her favorite song.' River, now 11 years old, previously performed the record with her mom in 2023. 'She's been jamming to this song since she was a baby,' Clarkson shared at the time. 'She loves this song so much, so she was like, 'Can I sing this song?'' For that performance, the pair was also joined by Clarkson's son, Remington Alexander. 'Both of my kiddos backstage getting ready to join me on stage in Vegas. Nothing will ever be as cool and amazing as these two little humans that will always have my whole heart,' Clarkson said. Clarkson and River have become frequent collaborators over the years. In 2023, the singer recruited her daughter to appear on 'You Don't Make Me Cry' from her latest album Chemistry. Clarkson kicked off her latest Vegas residency earlier this month after delaying the opening hours before her first night. 'The prep and rehearsals have taken a toll on my voice,' she said. 'I want the shows to be perfect for y'all and I need to protect myself from doing serious damage so I am taking this weekend and next week to rest up so that we can deliver what you all deserve. The show is truly incredible. The musicians and singers are outstanding, and I want us all to start out strong.' The live show is scheduled to continue through November.

Kelly Clarkson's mother-daughter duet dazzles fans at Las Vegas residency
Kelly Clarkson is doing Vegas her own way. The talk show host and pop sensation, who is midway through a highly anticipated residency on the strip, invited her daughter on stage during a recent performance for a rendition of "Heartbeat Song," a high-octane crowd pleaser off Clarkson's seventh studio album. "Last night we had a very special guest, my daughter River Rose, joined us for Heartbeat Song. It's her favorite song!" Clarkson wrote on Instagram following the July 18 show. The post featured a photo of the pair touching foreheads on stage mid-song as a packed crowd looked on and captured videos. Kelly Clarkson setlist: All the hit songs powering her Las Vegas residency River Rose, 11, is one of two children Clarkson shares with ex-husband Brandon Blackstock, along with son Remington "Remy" Alexander, 9. Clarkson, who recently returned to her NBC talk show after a prolonged absence, is enjoying early success in her Studio Sessions residency at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace. An institution in Sin City, the Colosseum is getting the Clarkson treatment as she plays songs from her newest album and hits from her early days of pop stardom. Kelly Clarkson returns to talk show after unexplained absence "Heartbeat Song," off her sentimental 2015 album "Piece by Piece," took on new meaning with River Rose as backup. In a fan video posted to YouTube, the mother-daughter pair, in matching graphic tees and bell-bottom pants, can be heard harmonizing. River Rose, more timid at the beginning, follows Clarkson's lead and eventually joins in for a more boisterous performance. After the song wrapped, Clarkson treated her daughter to a big hug and kiss on the cheek as the crowd applauded and River Rose disappeared into the wings. Clarkson will continue to perform at the 4,100-capacity theater for shows scattered through July, August and November. Tickets are available at Ticketmaster. The "American Idol" alum said she would bring "the studio to the stage" when she announced the slate of shows and has delivered 10-fold with her trademark blend of down-to-Earth humor and out-of-this-world vocals, all while joking and jamming with her outstanding band that included dual drums, several guitars, horns and strings. Fans of Clarkson's talk show will be treated to a rotating "Kellyoke" cover on the setlist. On opening weekend, she sang "I Will Always Love You" as sung by Whitney Houston and written by Dolly Parton, and Maneskin's cover of Frankie Valli & the Four Seasons' "Beggin'."

Kelly Clarkson says Piece by Piece has become 'empowering'
Kelly Clarkson finds singing her amended version of Piece by Piece to be "empowering". The 43-year-old pop star changed the lyrics to her 2015 song following her divorce from Brandon Blackstock, and Kelly has now explained her thinking behind the changes. The singer - who was married to Brandon between 2013 and 2022 - said during her Las Vegas residency: "I wrote it [when] I was feeling a type of way, and hoping more than [anything]. And then, I changed it a couple summers ago. I had to sing it. I was like, 'I gotta sing it 'cause people kept asking for it.' But, it just didn't feel right." Piece by Piece was originally written as a love song to her then-husband. However, Kelly changed the lyrics after settling her divorce. She explained: "I was like, 'I kinda like the way I'm going with it,' so I changed it just a little bit more. "It became aware to me that, man, this is a lot to put on one person anyway. Like, therapy, hey! I ended up as more of an empowering thing, like, 'Cool, it didn't happen for me, but that doesn't mean you're not worthy [or] valuable.'" Kelly now loves singing the track, admitting that she finds it to be "empowering". The pop star shared: "It's more of an empowering thing for me now, and I love it." Kelly previously confessed that she "never wanted to get married". The singer was married to Brandon for almost a decade - but Kelly admitted that that she never really planned to tie the knot. She told People: "I never wanted to get married the first time. "[Brandon] had children, a religious background, and it was important, I think, for him. But I've never been that person. Because I've been through a couple divorces in my family, I just don't like to put any weight on it." Kelly remains open to the idea of meeting someone new. However, she doesn't see herself marrying for a second time. She said: "It can happen; it doesn't have to happen." Kelly also believes that "love is not forever". The singer explained: "Sometimes love is looking at someone and going, 'This is not good for you. This is not good for me.' That's a hard thing to face. But when you do, I think you grow."

Pharrell Williams Revealed The Secret Behind His Gold Grillz At The Met Gala, And People Are Calling It "So Smart"
Pharrell Williams shared the surprising reason he wore grillz to the 2025 Met Gala, and I have to admit, it's pretty creative. He served as a co-chair, alongside Lewis Hamilton, A$AP Rocky, and Colman Domingo, for the biggest night in fashion, so people were eager to see what they'd show up in to highlight this year's theme, "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style." The famed artist and producer, who currently serves as Louis Vuitton's new Men's creative director, wore a pearl pinstripe suit with flared pants from the legacy brand. It might look like a regular suit jacket, but it was far from it. The jacket was literally made of pearls! I'm still blown away by the craftsmanship. Pharrell also designed custom ensembles for house ambassadors and friends of Louis Vuitton including, Doechii, Jeremy Allen White, Lisa, Pusha T, Henry Taylor, Future, Malcolm Washington, Callum Turner, and Sabrina Carpenter — whose look caused quite a stir for Pharrell allegedly advising the "Please, Please, Please" singer against wearing pants because of her height. While many celebrity attendees showed how they personally interpreted the theme, there were a few popular trends seen on the carpet among some of the attendees throughout the night, and one of them was grillz. Shaboozey, Taraji P. Henson, and Alton Mason were just a few of the stars who adorned their mouths with jewels and gems. Savion Washington / Getty Images, John Shearer / WireImage Pharrell was also a part of that list, rocking a mouth full of gold, which perfectly matched the gold accents in his accessories. But according to a recent interview with Essence, wearing grillz wasn't only a style decision for Pharrell, but a medical one. Related: 18 Times Celebs Spent An Embarrassing Amount Of Money On Something That Wound Up Totally Useless A reporter for the iconic publication asked how gold and staying fly speak to the theme of the Met Gala, and the Piece by Piece star revealed his grillz are actually Invisalign. "Well, truth be told, these are my Invisaligns," Pharrell said. "I used my Invisalign trays and got them done in gold." "It's what Dandy do," he added. "But nah, these are my Invisalign, they keep my teeth straight." And fans loved the idea: Related: 28 Celebs Who Never Seem To Get Canceled Despite Some Pretty Awful Behavior But people also gave credit where it was due, by pointing out this idea isn't new: A dope entrepreneur named Christina Rogers founded Ease, a company that allows customers to decorate their teeth while protecting them at the same time. While we can't go too much into the Protective Mouth Grill Method process because the patent is still pending, she did share details about why she created Ease. "I've seen so many people wear them and their teeth health just decline," Christina, who grew up in Houston around grillz her whole life, told PopSugar. "So I'd always wondered if there was a better way to go about it." "When I initially started seriously thinking about the brand, I was also going through a round of aligner treatment to straighten my teeth. This ended up being a key component for the company because I and so many other people wear retainers, so why not be able to get those decked out to make you actually want to keep them in?" "Essentially, the protective method is bonded to the inside of the grill," she says. "It doesn't hinder the aesthetic of the piece, so you can get any type of design, metal, or even stones like diamonds added to your grill — it's all up to you and your personal preference." I love seeing creatives see their ideas come to fruition in all forms!
