Less than a week after going viral with a cover of Sam Smith’s “Stay With Me,” Kelly Clarkson has made headlines again with a soulful cover of Taylor Swift’s “Shake It Off.”
Kelly Clarkson Covers Sam Smith’s ‘Stay With Me’
The 32-year-old American Idol alum (and new mom) delivered the gospel-tinged cover during a concert in Buffalo, N.Y., on Saturday (Oct. 25), just days before the release of Swift’s new album, 1989, on Monday.

“This is a church song, this is a soulful song,” Clarkson said. “This is one of my favorite songs out right now.”
Swift soon caught wind of Clarkson’s take on “Shake It Off” and quickly took to twitter to voice her approval. Watch the performance below.
