Luke Combs may have seen success on the music charts last year when he covered Tracy Chapman’s “Fast Car,” but now it’s his turn to have a music superstar take a crack at his music.
Kelly Clarkson took to the stage on her eponymous talk show to cover a song by the “Beautiful Crazy” singer during her popular Kellyoke segment, and gauging by his reaction, she knocked it out of the park.
