Kelly Clarkson Surprises Coffee Shop Customers With Stunning Choir-Backed Serenade

Kelly Clarkson recently gave a flash mob performance at a coffee shop in Los Angeles — and she hit a latte notes. 

On Friday, the singer posted videos of the serenade on her Instagram, showing her belting out songs from her upcoming album with the help of Los Angeles-based choir Tonality. 

One video showed Kelly inside a Blue Bottle Coffee shop singing a track titled Me, from her album Chemistry, which is due out on 23 June.

Kelly can be seen in the video singing in front of the counter while members of Tonality performed from a balcony in the shop. At the end of the clip, Kelly switched gears and playfully ordered a vanilla latte with a laugh. 

Another video showed Kelly and Tonality singing her new song Favorite Kind of High at a shopping centre while people dined outside. 

“This was so fun, y’all!” she captioned the post. 

Speaking about her new album, Kelly told Billboard earlier this month that one of the record’s tracks features an unexpected collaboration with actor Steve Martin.

Kelly name-drops the veteran performer in a song titled I Hate Love. She told the publication that while she was writing the song she had also been enjoying the Only Murders In The Building actor’s livestream videos of him playing the banjo in the early days of the coronavirus pandemic.

The daytime talk show host reached out to Steve and said that he agreed to the collaboration “within hours” of the request. 

“I just love the idea of things happening organically,” Kelly said.
