Kelly Clarkson Covers Garth Brooks' 'The Dance' While Honoring Him at Kennedy Center Honors 2021 (Video)

Kelly Clarkson recently honored Garth Brooks with a performance at the 2021 Kennedy Center Honors and we have a clip to share before the show airs this weekend!

The 39-year-old American Idol winner performed “The Dance,” which is a song that is very special to her.

Garth was a guest on Kelly‘s daytime talk show recently and she told him how the song helped her cope with her divorce from husband Brandon Blackstock.

“I couldn’t quite nail down the feeling,” Kelly previously said on her show. “I was, like, well, you don’t want to crap on it. Like, you don’t want to say that didn’t count or matter, but you don’t know what to put in it because it didn’t work out how you wanted and so, anyway, I kid you not, I was listening to my playlist and ‘The Dance’ came on and I was like, ‘No, that’s the thing. That’s it.’”

The other honorees at the Kennedy Center Honors event this year are Debbie Allen, Joan Baez, Dick Van Dyke, and Midori.
