Kelly Clarkson surprised the crowd at her Las Vegas residency at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace on July 18, 2025, when she brought her daughter River Rose up on stage to sing with her. Clarkson has two children: 11-year-old daughter River Rose and 9-year-old son Remington “Remy” Alexander.
She shares them with her former husband, Brandon Black. Clarkson and Tover Rose wore matching bell-shaped pants and gave a heartwarming rendition of Clarkson’s Heartbreak Song.
The mother and daughter duo sang the song’s intro:
"This is my heartbeat song and I'm gonna play it/ Been so long, I forgot how to turn it/ Up, up, up, up all night long/ Oh, up, up all night long,"
The first verse followed right after:
"You, where the hell did you come from?/You're a different, different kind of fun/ And I'm so used to feeling numb/ Now I've got pins and needles on my tongue/ Anticipating what's to comeLike a finger on a loaded gun,"
Kelly Clarkson has previously brought River Rose up on stage to sing Stronger during her concert in Las Vegas in 2023.
