Kelly Clarkson Gets Freaky With Explosive Cover of Chappell Roan’s ‘Red Wine Supernova’: Watch
Written by djfrosty on January 17, 2025
On a recent episode of The Kelly Clarkson Show, Kelly Clarkson‘s star power exploded as she covered Chappell Roan‘s “Red Wine Supernova.”
In lieu of a miniskirt and go-go boots, the vocalist looked chic in a black blazer while standing on stage with her band Thursday (Jan. 16), immediately bringing energy to the Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess track’s hot-and-heavy opening verse. “She was a Playboy, Brigitte Bardot/ She showed me things I didn’t know,” Clarkson sang percussively. “She did it right there, out on the deck/ Put her canine teeth in the side of my neck.”
The talk-show host went on to belt out Roan’s soaring chorus to perfection before hammering out the track’s NSFW bridge. “I heard you like magic/ I’ve got a wand and a rabbit,” Clarkson sang with a knowing smile. “So baby, let’s get freaky, get kinky/ Let’s make this bed get squeaky.”
“Red Wine Supernova” is just one of several runaway hits on Roan’s 2023 debut album, which ascended to No. 2 on the Billboard 200 nearly a full year after its release in August. The dance track peaked at No. 41 on the Billboard Hot 100 that same month, and five other songs on the LP — “My Kink Is Karma,” “Casual,” “Femininomenon,” “Hot to Go” and “Pink Pony Club” — also entered the chart last year.

The performance is just the latest time Clarkson has covered a Roan track for her show’s Kellyoke segment. In September, the former The Voice coach put her own spin on the Missouri native’s “Coffee,” followed by “Pink Pony Club” in November.
Clarkson and Miranda Lambert also joined forces on a brief cover of the 26-year-old star’s breakthrough hit “Good Luck, Babe!” last year. “Her voice is insane,” the “Stronger” singer said of Roan at the time. “Her range, how she goes from head voice to chest voice.”
