AceShowbiz - Kelly Clarkson, a former "American Idol" winner who now hosts her own TV show, has once again showcased her remarkable ability to transform popular songs into unique and unforgettable renditions. On Wednesday, November 13, Clarkson unveiled a country-infused version of Sabrina Carpenter's Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 smash, "Please Please Please."

With her Texas roots shining through, Clarkson and her house band, My Band Ya'll, took the dreamy pop vibes of Carpenter's original and transformed it into a heartwarming country ballad. Clarkson's signature drawl imbued the lyrics with a Patsy Cline-esque vulnerability, turning the pop nugget into a tear-jerking tribute to lost love.

"Ever since I heard this song, I hear Dolly Parton singing it as well," Clarkson explained to her audience. "It just lends itself to country music."

Before covering "Please Please Please", Clarkson put her own spin on Carpenter's tracks "Feather" and "Espresso" earlier this year. While Carpenter hasn't commented on Clarkson's covers of her songs, the singer who appeared on Clarkson's show in 2020 previously praised the host as an inspiration.

"Please Please Please" marks Clarkson's latest foray into country music on her show. She has previously covered songs by Lainey Wilson, Jelly Roll, Brooks & Dunn, and Reba McEntire, cementing her love for the genre.

The success of Carpenter's "Please Please Please" continues to soar, with nominations for Song of the Year, Record of the Year, and Album of the Year at the 2025 Grammy Awards. Clarkson's country rendition not only pays tribute to Carpenter's artistry but also demonstrates her own versatility and the transformative power of music.
