On December 14, 2020, Kelly Clarkson joined Garth Brooks on The Kelly Clarkson Show for a heartfelt rendition of “Shallow,” originally performed by Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper in the acclaimed film A Star Is Born. This performance was particularly special as Brooks was promoting his new album Fun, which features a duet of “Shallow” with his wife, Trisha Yearwood. However, Yearwood was unable to attend, leading Clarkson to step in as an impromptu duet partner.
Their cover of “Shallow” showcased both artists’ remarkable vocal talents, blending Clarkson’s powerful, emotive delivery with Brooks’ rich country tones. The song, which explores themes of vulnerability and yearning, resonated deeply with the audience, amplifying the emotional weight of the lyrics. Clarkson’s vocal prowess and Brooks’ skillful guitar accompaniment created a captivating atmosphere, allowing the song to shine in a new light.
The performance on the show was not just a one-off; it came after Brooks and Yearwood had already performed the song during Brooks’ Facebook Live series earlier that year. Their connection and chemistry were evident as they navigated the poignant lyrics together, transforming the experience into a memorable moment for viewers.
