From the second Kelly Clarkson opened her mouth at the 2018 Billboard Music Awards, you knew something wild was about to go down. She didn’t ease into her medley—she grabbed it by the mic and ran full speed through a whirlwind of hits. Starting with Maren Morris’s “My Church,” she brought country soul, pop fire, and hip-hop swagger all in one explosive mash-up. Oh, and she did it live in front of millions—without missing a note.
This wasn’t your average awards show performance. Kelly went from Sam Smith’s heartbreak in “Too Good at Goodbyes” to Kendrick Lamar’s fire in “HUMBLE.” Then she flipped it again with Imagine Dragons’ “Thunder,” Khalid’s “Young Dumb & Broke,” and somehow kept going through Bruno Mars & Cardi B, Ed Sheeran, Shawn Mendes, and Taylor Swift. The crazy part? She made each song her own. It wasn’t karaoke—it was Kelly-fied greatness.

Another said, “Kelly just reminded everyone why she won the first American Idol—because she’s still the best.” From pop stars to country die-hards, everyone agreed: Kelly came to slay.
