Kelly Clarkson can flawlessly sing just about anything.
The songstress performed in St. Paul, Minnesota, where she gave the fans a big treat by singing Prince‘s “Purple Rain.”
“I don’t think y’all know, covering like that, that’s one of the best songs of all time, I literally was like about to pee on myself the whole time. I was like ‘Oh God don’t screw it up too much,'” she told the audience.
“I love that song, I was just very nervous about covering it. I mean, he’s one of the greats and he’s from here, so I feel like we had to,” she added.

Clarkson has not made any comments about the recent divorce of her in-laws, Reba McEntire and Narvel Blackstock, but sources say she fought to keep them together.
“They’ve been living apart for two years,” the source told Us Weekly. “Kelly urged them not to split and she’s the reason they didn’t split earlier. She was really fighting for them to make it work and stay together.”
