Kelly Clarkson has proven herself to be the master of covers with her Kellyoke segment on The Kelly Clarkson Show. And on Tuesday (Mar. 10), she showed off her skills once again with her newest interpretation.
On the latest episode of the superstar’s daytime talk show, Clarkson took a stab at Halsey‘s “Graveyard,” adding her own rocked-out spin to the synth-pop single. Dressed in a silky, Dalmatian-spotted black and white dress, the star started off the song in a pretty familiar vein, with the song’s memorable acoustic guitar riff and accented synth notes taking center stage.
“You can think again/ When the hand you wanna hold is a weapon and/ You’re nothin’ but skin,” she crooned.
When she reached the song’s chorus, though, gone were the hand-clapping beats and soothing synths, now replaced by electric guitars and a full drum set kicking into high gear to give the new cover some new life. By the time she sang her final note, the crowd gave her a well-deserved standing ovation.
