Talent recognizes talent. Lainey Wilson visited with Kelly Clarkson yesterday on “The Kelly Clarkson Show” and the two spent some quality time chatting before treating the audience to an epic duet.

The two singers spent considerable time fangirling over each other, each praising the other for their talents and their ability to convey emotion through song. Lainey pointed out that Kelly sings other people’s songs better than they do, and it’s not just learning the lyrics: “Even when you’re up here just covering everybody else’s songs, it’s not just like, you just learn the words and you got up there…you were feeling it, for everything that it is,” adding that it meant so much to her when Kelly covered her “Heart Like A Truck.” And Kelly fired back with her own raves, saying “That’s the thing I love about your voice – you open up your mouth…a musical baby of Dolly (Parton) and LeAnn (Rimes), but it’s still your sound…no one sounds like you..that’s so cool. I love it. And I’m obsessed with you.”

After, the pair jumped on stage and performed a duet version of Lainey’s “Country’s Cool Again” to the delight of the audience.
