Though known for her powerful pop anthems, Kelly Clarkson—born and raised in Texas—has a natural flair for country music when she chooses to embrace it. In a recent episode of *The Kelly Clarkson Show*, she tapped into that country side, delivering a captivating performance of Chris Stapleton’s “I Was Wrong” for her Kellyoke segment. Could a country album be on the horizon?
About “I Was Wrong” by Chris Stapleton
As the title suggests, the song delves into themes of regret, confessing mistakes, and seeking forgiveness. It’s a track from Stapleton’s 2017 album, *From A Room: Volume 1*.
Stapleton, who began his career writing songs for other Nashville artists, continues to be a favorite among performers across genres. His songs are especially popular on *The Voice*—most recently, Morgan Myles gave a memorable performance of his hit “Tennessee Whiskey” during the Top 10 round in the fall of 2022.
In fact, Clarkson—who served as a coach on *The Voice* during Seasons 14-21 and 23—collaborated with Stapleton on her Christmas song, “Glow.” She shared her excitement about the experience with fans on Instagram: “It was so awesome. He responded so quickly when I asked him to collaborate…anyway, he said yes, and it was so magical. I love his voice.”
