00:00Hello, where's Kelly Clarkson?
00:01Never happened when Hoda was here.
00:03Where is Kelly Clarkson?
00:05Where is Kelly Clarkson?
00:08Where is Kelly?
00:10Catch up Melvin!
00:12Hoda was always next to the tower.
00:14She was right there.
00:14She was right there.
00:16From Kelly Clarkson!
00:20What doesn't kill you makes yourself look very good.
00:25And good morning everybody, welcome back.
00:27It's 8.30 now.
00:28It is a Tuesday morning, but there's something special in the air.
00:32It's the sweet sounds of Miss Kelly Clarkson, who is here.
00:36You are kicking off our summer concert series.
00:38Kelly, we're so happy to have you.
00:39Thank you. I'm excited.
00:41You have a beautiful new song.
00:44It is a showstopper, and you're debuting it live right here.
00:47I'm debuting it live. I chose the earliest time ever to debut my new single.
00:52That has no high notes.
00:53Seriously.
00:54That note is crazy.
00:55I told them to scream if I don't hit it.
00:57I was like, so no one hears.
00:58By the way, not only is Kelly going to perform in this half hour,
01:02you will also see her in the third and fourth hours as well.
01:05The new hits, some instant classics.
01:08Crowd, you guys ready to sing along?
01:09You guys ready?
01:10Let's sing!
01:13If you'd like to sing along to the weather, feel free.
01:16That's right.
01:17Singing in the rain.
01:19Well, the good news is the heavy rain is going to hold off until Kelly gets off the stage.
01:25The City Concert Series on today is proudly sponsored by City.
01:31All right, we're back and now we really are just moments away from the official start for the 30th year,
01:38the City Summer Concert Series.
01:41And before Kelly kicks things off, take a quick look at her incomparable career.
01:47Kelly Clarkson is American pop royalty, reigning on screen and on the charts.
01:52And it all started with this moment.
01:55A moment like this.
01:58When the 20-year-old Texas natives stole our hearts.
02:02More than two decades later, Kelly is a bona fide superstar.
02:09To date, she's sold more than 25 million albums and scored 17 Grammy nominations with hits like Stronger.
02:18My Life Would Suck Without You.
02:27And Since You've Been Gone.
02:31Kelly's also the Emmy Award winning host of her number one daytime talk show.
02:36This interview is going to be hard because we're both talkers.
02:38I love it.
02:39I love it.
02:40Where her Kelly Oakey covers are a fan favorite.
02:42All I want to do is have some fun.
02:46Now, Kelly Clarkson is beginning a new musical chapter with a brand new single, Where Have You Been?
02:52And this morning, she's bringing that new music and her greatest hits back to our plaza, officially kicking off.
02:58Our 2025 City Concert Series.
03:05All right, are we ready?
03:07Yes!
03:08We're the first live performance ever of a brand new single, Where Have You Been?
03:13For our very first concert of the season.
03:15Give it up for Kelly Clarkson!
03:17Come on!
03:18Come on!
03:18Come on!
03:19Come on!
03:21Come on!
03:23Come on!
03:23Come on!
03:23I like my freedom, but I trade some for a kiss.
03:32Little do you know how long I've been waiting for this.
03:39When it came to my hopes, well, they left scars I won't reach.
03:48I was getting so lonely, I didn't count on, count on this.
03:55When it came to my dreams, where have you been?
04:01What took so long?
04:05I thought I'd found you, found that I was wrong.
04:14I almost gave up.
04:29I felt it from the moment you walked in the room.
04:37I felt it from the moment you walked in the room.
04:46When it came to the world, love, I wondered what it meant.
04:56And in your shower, making me believe again.
05:04Where have you been?
05:07Where have you been?
05:08What took so long?
05:11What took so long?
05:12I thought I'd found you, found that I was wrong.
05:21I almost gave up.
05:23I almost gave up.
05:25My light was so dim.
05:27My light was so dim.
05:29And now here you are.
05:33Oh, where have you been?
05:35Where have you been?
05:38Where have you been?
05:54Give it up for Chaka!
06:15When have you been?
06:19What took so long?
06:24I thought I'd find you
06:28But I found
06:30I was
06:49Where have you been?
06:56Kelly Clarkson, everybody.
06:59She's just getting started on our concert stage.
07:01But first, this is Today on NBC.
07:18We are back on a very special Tuesday morning.
07:23Yes, yes, yes.
07:24Back to kick off our summer concert series with Grammy and Emmy winning superstar Kelly Clarkson.
07:30She's also our neighbor right here at 30 Rock with a very successful Kelly Clarkson show.
07:34Good morning, honey.
07:35How are you?
07:36Good morning.
07:36Look, I'm past that note, so we're good.
07:38You heard that note and had a reaction like, yes, I landed it, as if there was a chance you
07:42weren't.
07:42Because when you're in the studio making a song and creating, it's nighttime, generally.
07:46And it's not like, oh, I can't wait to promote this at 8 a.m.
07:48Well, that was like the triple axel of notes that you just landed.
07:52Talk about the new music and your new record label as well.
07:56I'm so excited.
07:57It's High Road Records.
07:58High Road Ranch is my ranch.
08:00And so I ended up writing this, and we ended up doing the music video there in the town and
08:03everything.
08:04And it kind of just made sense to name it after High Road Ranch.
08:07So I did High Road Records.
08:09And honestly, it's just like taking the High Road as an artist and being able to actually create what you
08:13want to without so many hands in the cookie jar.
08:15Yes.
08:16And it's just fun.
08:17Yeah.
08:17Congratulations.
08:18Well done.
08:19Mother's Day, just a few days away now.
08:22River, Remy, how are they going to celebrate you?
08:23All I ask for is to sleep in.
08:26Literally, like I don't need any gifts.
08:28That's the gift.
08:28Hopefully you're watching.
08:29Hopefully you're watching.
08:30No, I'm getting to sleep in.
08:32You've got a Las Vegas residency coming up.
08:34What are you expecting for that?
08:36This is totally different for us, how we're doing it.
08:38It's called Studio Sessions.
08:39And the reason for that is I feel like you don't get live anymore.
08:43Like maybe back in the 70s, but you don't get live what you really feel in the studio when you're
08:47with.
08:47Like you fill out the whole stage.
08:49Like I've hired more musicians.
08:50More singers are coming out.
08:51We're literally filling out everything.
08:53There's no tracks at all of any kind of instrument or anything.
08:55It's all live.
08:56And it just feels amazing in a studio.
08:58So we wanted to bring that into the setting for everybody.
09:01So it's going to be really fun.
09:02Well, that's cool.
09:03You have a great band, too, by the way.
09:04Thank you all for waking up early.
09:05It's a great hat, sir.
09:07How does this work with the TV show, with the talk show?
09:09You're going to be off here in a minute.
09:10Coffee.
09:10You'll have some summer.
09:11You'll have summer off.
09:12But is there a record coming out?
09:13I mean, people heard of this on Friday.
09:15There's, you know what?
09:16It's interesting.
09:16I'm going back and forth on just releasing what I want when I want and doing a full album.
09:21I'm kind of going back and forth.
09:22And the really cool thing about that, Carson, is I'm the boss.
09:25So I can try to ride back.
09:25I'm sure you're going to ride back.
09:27Well, because the next one we're working on actually doesn't sound like this song.
09:30So it's a little bit more off-rock.
09:31You know what, Kelly?
09:32You might say you're Miss Independent.
09:34In fact, thank you.
09:36Take it away.
09:37Where have you been, Savannah?
09:38Where have you been, Savannah?
09:42Where have you been, Savannah?
09:44Where have you been, Savannah?
09:49You know it's me!
09:53Miss Independent.
09:56Miss Self-sufficient.
09:58Miss Keep Your Distance.
10:04Miss unafraid
10:05Miss out on my way
10:08Miss don't let a man
10:11Interfere
10:12No
10:14Miss on her own
10:16Miss almost gone
10:18Miss love
10:19Let a man
10:20Help her up with the wrong
10:22So by keeping her heart protected
10:25Where she never ever feel rejected
10:28Yeah, I said
10:28Little miss apprehensive
10:30I said, oh, she fell in love
10:33Waste of stealing, taking all my
10:36Thinking I want to open my door
10:39Surprise, surprise
10:40It's time

11:02Miss played smart
11:04Miss, if you want to lose that line
11:06You better just stop
11:08No
11:10Oh, she miscalculated
11:12She didn't want to indulge it
11:14She didn't want to indulge it
11:15And this mess decided not to mess out on true love
11:19So by choosing her misconceptions
11:21She ran in a new direction
11:24And she found inside
11:26She built a connection
11:27She found it long, yeah
11:30What is this feeling taking all my
11:32Thinking I want to open my door
11:35Surprise, surprise

11:45No, goodbye
11:46Because I owe you
11:47Oh, you love
11:49This is true
11:50When Miss and the pendant walked away
11:55No time for a love that came her way
12:00She looked in the mirror and thought
12:04Today
12:05What happened to me
12:08No longer afraid
12:11It took some time for her
12:15To see
12:16Just how beautiful
12:18And good

12:20Me
12:21No more talk

12:56Oh yeah
13:13Don't go anywhere, we're just getting started.
13:16Kelly is back with another massive hit as our summer concert stage gets rolling on.
13:22But first, this is Today on NBC.
13:33And we are back as our Kelly Clarkson concert continues.
13:37And so to introduce her next song, we thought we might get a little help from one of Kelly's legions
13:42of fans.
13:42What's your name?
13:44My name's Casey.
13:45Casey, where are you from?
13:47Rivervale, New Jersey.
13:48All right, and you're here on a very special day because this is the last day.
13:52You're going to be nine, right?
13:54Yeah.
13:54Ten years old tomorrow.
13:56Mm-hmm.
13:56We wanted to get you something, Casey.
13:58We thought it'd be fun if you could introduce the next song.
14:01Do you want to try?
14:02Okay, take it away.
14:03With her Grammy-nominated hit, Stronger, here's Kelly Clarkson.
14:07Yeah!
14:08Well done.
14:09Happy birthday!
14:11Double digits!
14:16All right!
14:18You know the bed feels warmer, sleeping here alone.
14:25Hey!
14:26You know I dream in color, and I do the things I want.
14:35You think you've got the best in me, think you've had the last laugh.
14:39But you think that everything good is gone.
14:43You left me broken down, figured I'd come crawling back.
14:47Baby, you don't know me cause you're dead.
14:50Well, come on!
14:50What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, stand a little taller, doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone.
15:00What doesn't kill you makes I'm wider, footsteps even lighter, doesn't mean I'm over, cause you're gone.
15:08What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, stronger, doesn't mean I'm myself at night.
15:16What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, stand a little taller, doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone.
15:26You heard that I was starting over with someone new.
15:35I told you I wasn't moving on and over you.
15:43You think that I come back, I come back swinging.
15:47You tried to break me, but you see what doesn't kill you a little taller.
15:52Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone.
15:55What doesn't kill you makes I'm wider, footsteps even lighter, doesn't mean I'm over, cause you're gone.
16:04What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, stronger, doesn't mean I'm self at night.
16:12What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, stand a little taller, doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone.
16:22Well thanks to you I've got a new thing started.
16:26Thanks to you I'm not the broken heart.
16:31Thanks to you I'm finally thinking about me.
16:34You know in the end, the day you left was just the night beginning.
16:41In the end, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger,
16:53What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, stand a little taller, doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone.
17:17Cause I'm not alone.
17:45Cause I'm not alone.
17:47She's on the voice.
17:48She's got her own record label now.
17:50You're just incredible and one of our favorites.
17:52Thank you for kicking off us as a summer concert.
17:54I feel like I've been doing it for years.
17:56Y'all been doing it.
17:56Are you coming up on 30?
17:57This is 30.
17:58You kicked off our 30th year.
18:00Oh my God, I love it.
18:01I feel like I've been here several times.
18:02The first time you came, it was like after the American Idol.
18:06Yeah, 2002.
18:07Yeah.
18:07We are so old.
18:09We are so old.
18:09No, no.
18:10We call it longevity, Kel.
18:10Like a fine wine.
18:11Yes, exactly.
18:13By the way, Kelly's gonna be sticking around third hour, fourth hour as well.
18:17She's got more music.
18:18So don't go anywhere.
18:20Don't go anywhere.
18:21Kelly, just really quickly before, is there something that you haven't done yet that you want to do?
18:25What's on the bucket list?
18:26Oh my God.
18:26Professionally.
18:27So many jokes.
18:29Sleep.
18:30No, I mean, I had a dream as a kid to do Broadway.
18:33But just with the schedule.
18:35The schedule is so hard, man.
18:37You'll do it.
18:37With the show and doing songs.
18:39And I have kids and single parent.
18:41You know, it's kind of hard.
18:42But that has been a bucket list dream for me.
18:45Kelly Clarkson on Broadway.
18:46We're putting it out there in the universe.
18:48And thanks to all of you for sticking around in the room.
18:53Don't go anywhere, folks.
18:55Today's show back after local news, weather, and these quick messages.
18:59Kelly!
19:00A performance you don't want to miss.
19:12Pop icon Kelly Clarkson here kicking off our summer concert series with one of her biggest hits.
19:18Today, Tuesday, May 6th, 2025.
19:24Live from Studio 1A in Rockefeller Plaza, this is the third hour of today.
19:30Good morning, everybody.
19:31Welcome to the third hour of today.
19:33What a magnificent morning it has been.
19:36Amazing.
19:36Thanks to the one, the only Kelly Clarkson.
19:39And this audience show.
19:40And yet, who has been in the rain.
19:42Give yourselves a hand!
19:44Yes!
19:46Yes!
19:49Kelly kicked off a summer concert series this morning.
19:52Epic, epic plausible performance.
19:53She's not done yet.
19:54And if you're just tuning in, Kelly Clarkson hit a high note that most people couldn't hit in like a
20:01studio.
20:02Ever.
20:02Yeah, she hits it at like 7 o'clock.
20:03Crack two of the windows on it right over there.
20:05Right, right, right here.
20:06Crack two windows.
20:07It's a lot of prayer.
20:08Yeah.
20:09You made it through.
20:10Kelly does have another song for us coming up.
20:12It's a good one.
20:13But first, let's catch up a little bit.
20:15Good morning.
20:16Good morning.
20:17You've mentioned the crowd.
20:18What does it mean to you when you come out?
20:21And yeah, it's early.
20:22It's raining.
20:23And yet, nobody leaves.
20:25Yeah, that means everything.
20:26Because it sounds like a cliché statement.
20:28But we really do feed off of their energy.
20:31Like, my show will depend on them to some extent.
20:35So, it's awesome.
20:36And they were out here, y'all, everybody at home, in the rain while we were even doing rehearsals.
20:41They're hardcore awesome.
20:42They are a hearty bunch.
20:43There's a woman back there.
20:44Hold up that sign.
20:45And it says, my mom chose Kelly over my dad on their 53rd anniversary.
20:50Making good choices.
20:52That is commitment.
20:53You're making solid choices, man.
20:55That's commitment.
20:55So, we were just talking 30 years of concerts here on the Plaza.
20:59You kicked off our epic 30th year celebration.
21:02You've been here a number of times over the year.
21:03Al pointed out, I think your first performance was back in 2002.
21:06Yeah.
21:06Right after Idol.
21:06Are there any moments that stand out on the Plaza performing to you?
21:11Yeah.
21:11I mean, I remember one time we did it.
21:13Was it in Central Park?
21:15Well, I feel like one of the times it wasn't here or something.
21:17But anyway.
21:18But we've done it here every time.
21:19Every time I will tell you, I am so shocked and amazed that you people show up at this time
21:25of hour.
21:27Because I am very much a night owl.
21:29But no, it's always fun and it's cool to see people come out.
21:32I feel like I've had weather a few times I've done this before.
21:35And my fans are so cool.
21:36They come out and it's very loving.
21:38It's nice.
21:39Besides this, you have quite the side gig.
21:41The Kelly Clarkson Show.
21:42Yeah.
21:43Your 1,000th episode.
21:45Yeah, we just had 1,000.
21:46Yeah.
21:46I mean, what does that mean to you to have something going on for that long?
21:50I think it doesn't.
21:51I don't know if it'll hit me until like after.
21:53You know, because you're doing it.
21:54Right.
21:54You're constantly doing it.
21:55So, I don't even know that it.
21:56But I think the coolest thing is not only just the show, but even my new single that
22:00we played.
22:00Like, I just love that I'm doing it with my second family.
22:03And I love that we love everyone around us.
22:05There's no one toxic.
22:06There's no one.
22:07You know what I'm saying?
22:07It's like, we're getting too old to work with people that are just unhappy.
22:11Preach!
22:11Amen.
22:12Preach!
22:12Yeah.
22:13So, I like that part.
22:14That's all right.
22:15Kelly, we mentioned your fans.
22:16You mentioned your fans.
22:16So, I want to go actually introduce our audience to two of your biggest fans, arguably.
22:22You stay there, Kelly.
22:23I don't want you to get wet.
22:24But I do want to meet.
22:25I don't care about getting wet.
22:25I want to see.
22:27I want to see.
22:27Where's Katie and Dan?
22:28Oh, I just passed them.
22:29Hey!
22:30Katie and Dan, how are you?
22:31Good, how are you?
22:32First of all, where are y'all from?
22:33Connecticut.
22:34From Connecticut.
22:35Congratulations.
22:36I hear you guys are Kelly Clarkson superfans.
22:39You walk down the aisle to a Kelly Clarkson song.
22:42Which song?
22:43Oh my God.
22:44Which song?
22:45I have a moment like this.
22:46Oh, I love that!
22:47I'll give you another.
22:48Where have you been?
22:48Can be one too.
22:49It's nice.
22:50You also worked the lyric into your vows.
22:52I did.
22:53What?
22:53What?
22:55Oh my God, I'm nervous.
22:56She's nervous.
22:57Favorite kind of drug?
22:58My favorite kind of high.
23:00Well...
23:00She's the superfans.
23:02It's your choice.
23:03Yeah, it's a favorite kind of high.
23:03I love that one.
23:05What is it about Kelly's music that you love so much?
23:08Everything.
23:09I've listened to you since Idol and I've grown up with you and I've gone to so many concerts
23:15and you've pushed me through so many things.
23:18I understand that.
23:19Artists do that for me too.
23:20I understand.
23:20Kelly, thanks for coming down and getting wet.
23:22Yeah, I'm getting a hug.
23:23And Katie and Dan, thanks for coming by.
23:26This is their 12th time seeing you, Kelly Clarkson.
23:29I'm taking a picture.
23:30Oh, get your selfie.
23:31Get your selfie.
23:32Yeah, there you go.
23:33Your longer arm.
23:34Okay.
23:35Okay.
23:36Meanwhile, Dylan, Al, I'll send it back over to you.
23:39That's awesome, Craig.
23:40Thank you, Kelly.
23:41Stay tuned for another performance from Kelly coming up later this hour.
23:44But right now.
23:48The City Concert Series on today is proudly sponsored by City.
23:54It is a special morning because we are out on the plaza kicking off our summer concert series.
24:00And who better to do it than pop superstar Kelly Clarkson.
24:04Right now she is treating us to a classic, taking it back to 2004 with her hit Behind These Hazel
24:10Eyes.
24:11Guys, let's make some noise for Kelly Clarkson.
24:13Go.
24:25It seems like just yesterday.
24:28You were a part of me.
24:31I used to stand so tall.
24:34I used to be so strong.
24:36Your arms around me tight.
24:39Everything you felt so right.
24:41Unbreakable like nothing could go wrong
24:46Now I can't breathe, said I can't see
24:51I'm barely hanging on
24:55Here I am once again
24:59I'm torn in pieces
25:01Can't deny it, can't pretend
25:04Just thought you were the one
25:06Broken up, deep in time
25:09But you'll never get to see
25:11The tears I hide
25:15Behind these angel eyes
25:17I told you everything
25:20I opened up and let you in
25:23You made me feel alright
25:25Once in my life
25:28Now all that's left of me
25:30Is what I'm supposed to be
25:33Sold together, so broken up inside
25:37Now I can't breathe, said I can't sleep
25:43I'm barely hanging on
25:47Here I am once again
25:50I'm torn in pieces
25:53Can't deny it, can't pretend
25:55Just thought you were the one
25:58Broken up, deep in time
26:30But you'll never get to see
26:33Not anymore
26:35Not anymore
26:38Not anymore
26:38Not anymore
26:39Here I am once again
26:42I'm torn in pieces
26:45Can't deny it, can't pretend
26:47Just thought you were the one
26:49Broken up, deep in time
26:52But you'll never get to see
26:55The tears I hide
27:09She is amazing in our next hour on Jenna and Friends with another song.
27:27Of course, we're talking about Kelly Clarkson.
27:33She's kicking off a Vegas residency this summer.
27:35You have to go.
27:36You're a fool if you don't go and she's out with a brand new song and music video called
27:40Where Have You Been?
27:41Hi, Kelly.
27:42Hi, Kelly.
27:43What's up?
27:43We're so happy you're here and I'm actually really happy that Matt can be here because
27:47I don't know if you know this, but he used to go on the chats in middle school.
27:52She knows.
27:52He owned it to me.
27:53We worked together before we've interviewed together before he told me and thank you
27:58for being so kind.
27:59I think the best thing about us is we get together, but we talk about other vocalists
28:02every time I know because we have similar love, but that's also so you, you give credit to
28:08all these incredible singers, you Kelly, the way you sing other people's songs, I try and
28:15do it justice.
28:16So they're not like, why did you try and do it justice?
28:18We cover it on this show and people are like, she's using their songs better than they sing
28:23up.
28:23You are nice.
28:24Obviously, my mom called.
28:25I made a deal with you.
28:27No, I mean, I don't.
28:28Well, what's funny is my son has called me out before and been like, I like the original
28:31better.
28:31Is that going to hurt your feelings?
28:32I was like, why did you need to tell me that?
28:34Why?
28:35I didn't even ask.
28:35We need critics.
28:36Pitchfork is in the house.
28:36That's your son, I guess.
28:37My son's there to do that.
28:39Well, speaking of other vocalists, Ariana Grande came on our podcast and she had something to
28:43say about you.
28:44Someone sent this to me.
28:46She's such a...
28:46We have a clip.
28:47We'll show you.
28:47We'll show you.
28:48This is the tea.
28:50I love her.
28:51I love it.
28:52She's the number one icon legend.
28:53She's the best in the world.
28:55The queen.
28:55Is she the best singer in the world?
28:57She's incredible.
28:58It could be...
28:59Kelly Clarkson.
29:00Yeah, it could be a thing.
29:02Yeah.
29:02She's unbelievable.
29:03Here...
29:04Okay.
29:05That's from Ariana.
29:06The number one is coming from her since she's like the greatest singer, but also like
29:09she and Cynthia just in Wicked.
29:11I still...
29:11Like I've watched it so many times.
29:14They're incredible.
29:15Unbelievable.
29:15So that's like, it's humbling that she, you know, even as like a fan of like something
29:19I do, but yeah.
29:20She's really good.
29:21I like a hair right here.
29:22You're welcome, America.
29:23You know what?
29:23That's that relatability of that one new American idol.
29:26Sorry about my hair on my face.
29:28Okay.
29:29We have to talk about your new song.
29:31Where have you been?
29:31I love it.
29:32It is inspired by this one moment and only murders in the building.
29:36Is that right?
29:36I literally was at my cabin and my little cabin in the mountains and I was watching
29:41it and I was catching up and I was like, wait, what?
29:43And I cried because I was like, that is so beautiful.
29:45I was slightly inebriated.
29:46This is the moment, right?
29:47I was slightly inebriated.
29:47I was slightly inebriated.
29:49Yeah.
29:49And it's the both of them.
29:51It's the moment that's so beautiful.
29:53You know, she's waited so long for somebody to actually see like what she's got to
29:55you know, for this moment, but it was more so he is such a great actor.
29:59We all know that.
30:00Yeah.
30:00Like everything that was in his face when he said, where have you been?
30:04Killed me.
30:04Yeah.
30:05Like I kept rewatching it because it was so beautiful and so and so.
30:07And then I kind of took it to another place and wrote a song about it.
30:11But yeah.
30:11Well, it was inspired by that.
30:12Speaking of the song and the video, ma'am, this is your sexiest video you've ever done.
30:17What?
30:17I mean, listen, I think mama was feeling herself and you should.
30:22Look, I lost some weight and I was like, you put me in something fitting.
30:25You.
30:26But my question.
30:26Because I don't know how long this will last.
30:28No.
30:29Babe.
30:29It's going to last.
30:30You look bad.
30:30Was that a conscious decision?
30:31I know you have like some new found like agency with the label.
30:34You're the boss.
30:35It was, it was, well, I've had a, in all honesty, I've had a lot of people always in
30:39my career tell me, I mean, be very cruel and say like, oh, you look, you know, slutty
30:45if you wear this.
30:46You look da-da-da if you wear this.
30:47What?
30:47Anytime I've, oh, I've had people be very cruel.
30:49Yeah.
30:49And so it's like, I've never been able to just like be what I want for that moment,
30:53for that song, what that character calls for.
30:55Yeah.
30:55Because they're all different characters, right?
30:56So it, this was a very sexy moment.
30:59It's a song about that intimate moment where you finally go, wow, I just found the unicorn
31:04situation and I did not know that was on the bingo card for my life, you know?
31:08So it, and I wanted the sexiness of that.
31:11Yes.
31:11And I had the outfit made, all the outfits made for it.
31:13Well, we've talked about this on your show, but do you still think that that unicorn moment
31:17is going to happen for you?
31:19Yeah.
31:19I mean, I hope it does.
31:20I will say I'm not, not looking and I'm not looking.
31:24I just, I'm very busy and I, and I think, you know, get this as a mom, it's, I've got
31:27a focus right now.
31:29So it's like, there's a lot of work.
31:30Plus, I mean, my kid's schedule, I feel like it's busier than mine.
31:34Yeah.
31:34They're at that age.
31:35Why do they do so many activities?
31:36I'm running from my show to baseball practice and I'm trying to just be like there.
31:41What is that about?
31:42It's a lot.
31:43So yeah.
31:43And my mom, it will tell me, she'll be like, look, I was a single mom.
31:46I didn't get to make everything.
31:47They're going to be fine.
31:48They're not fine.
31:48I was like, I don't know if that's okay, but, but, um, but yes, I, I am, you know,
31:53just trying to be there as much for them.
31:55And we're, we're a cute little unit.
31:57I am trying to adult more.
31:58So like for Mother's Day weekend, I do have a couple of shows, but my kids aren't coming.
32:02And so I get to like be an adult with my band and like have some drinks and like have
32:05like adult time.
32:06We still need to go out.
32:08Remember Hoda and I promised you a night on the town.
32:10I know.
32:11Do you like to go out at 4.03 PM?
32:13I actually do.
32:15I actually do.
32:16And in by nine.
32:16Yes.
32:17I do.
32:18Okay, good.
32:18So you make bedtime.
32:19Yes, exactly.
32:20But also speaking of Atlantic City, I have to do this for you.
32:23What?
32:24I have to do this.
32:25Matt's coming.
32:26I mean, I have to come and I think I'm bringing a date.
32:30He doesn't know this.
32:31So if you want to hang out with a big test.
32:33Okay.
32:33If you want to hang out with, with Matt and his date, they're available.
32:37I'm just saying this is the kind of thing you'll get.
32:39If you go to see Kelly with me, this is me in Vegas.
32:41I was sobbing.
32:43Do we have the clip of this?
32:44Like that's me in a terrible shirt.
32:46I bought earlier that day.
32:47Cause I was drunk Vegas and that's me sobbing.
32:50I, you were singing a moment like this and I was at the urinal and I ran back as fast
32:56as I could to make sure that I did not miss that moment.
32:59Cause you never do that song.
33:00Cause I never, you know this.
33:01I never sing that song.
33:02Well, I, it's such a, I have such a, an interesting relationship with that song.
33:06Sure.
33:07It wouldn't have been like my first thing I wanted to release like as an artist.
33:10Yeah.
33:10Because sometimes people start to pigeonhole you like right off the bat, but I loved it for
33:14what it was.
33:15Yeah.
33:15I love that moment.
33:16You know, like what a thing to win and change my whole life.
33:19So I love it for that, but I don't always do it.
33:21And it's important to people because of the nostalgia that it brings back.
33:24I mean, so many people like me, like that are, you know, like fans of yours.
33:28And like, remember that moment as like, it wasn't just a triumph for you.
33:32Like it was a triumph for all of us watching you.
33:34Please don't.
33:35Oh my gosh.
33:36By the way, watching you sing with Matt Rogers is one of the joys of my life.
33:40He's like, now listen to this bridge.
33:41Now, right here.
33:42Oh yeah.
33:42When we were watching you out there, I was like, this bridge is going to go off.
33:45Kelly, you're back performing.
33:47You killed it this morning.
33:48You're starting a Las Vegas residency.
33:50Studio sessions.
33:51Are you so excited for that?
33:52I'm excited.
33:53This is, you saw the last one.
33:54This one's different.
33:55This is literally, I hired more musicians and more singers to cover everything to where
33:59there's no band tracks.
34:00Nothing is, it's all organic.
34:02It's all live.
34:03Um, which we're usually, we're always live, always live, but it's, there's always things
34:06that you can't quite compensate for when you're in the studio.
34:09Right.
34:09And I really wanted to make the experience as if you're in the studio with us and you
34:13hear it.
34:13Super intimate.
34:14Yeah.
34:15So we've worked really hard on the sound like hardcore.
34:17Cause this isn't, usually that doesn't happen.
34:20Yeah.
34:20So it's, it's a, we've, we've worked really hard on the sound alone just for everybody
34:24sounding organic and it mixed and everybody feel it.
34:26Yeah.
34:27Cause it's so special and not everybody gets that experience.
34:29I don't know how you do everything you do, but you are remarkable.
34:32Happy Mother's Day to you.
34:35You too.
34:35But Kelly's not done.
34:37She's got a performance for us a little later.
