“Kelly Clarkson and Garth Brooks Deliver Stunning Rendition of ‘Shallow'”

When Kelly Clarkson and Garth Brooks joined forces for a breathtaking duet of *Shallow*—the hit song originally performed by Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper in the 2018 film *A Star Is Born*—they left fans in awe.

The magic began in 2019 during Clarkson’s *Meaning of Life* tour stop in Green Bay, Wisconsin, where she delivered a show-stopping solo performance of the Grammy and Golden Globe-winning track. “This chick is amazing,” Clarkson, then 42, said of Gaga, who co-wrote the song for the romantic drama. “I thought she and Bradley Cooper did such an awesome job with this song. It’s called *Shallow*, and we’re going to do our own version of it because, obviously, I don’t have a Bradley Cooper here,” she joked, adding, “I hope I don’t suck, and if I do, I hope she doesn’t see it.” Her rendition, praised for its “effortless vocals,” quickly went viral, captivating millions of fans.

Fast forward a few years, and Clarkson found herself in a musical jam session with country legend Garth Brooks. The two icons decided to take on *Shallow* together, creating a moment that would leave audiences speechless. Brooks, who had previously performed the song with his wife, Trisha Yearwood, during a 2020 Facebook Live show, shared the backstory with Clarkson. “Miss Yearwood knew what she was doing, so I was like, ‘Oh, crap,’” Brooks recalled with a laugh, strumming the opening chords on his guitar. “It invites you in…I love it,” Clarkson gushed.

When Brooks invited her to sing along, Clarkson didn’t hesitate. “I would love to sing it with you. Sorry, Trisha,” she quipped. “You’re not here, and if you were, I’d sing three-part harmony.” What followed was a spellbinding performance that showcased Clarkson’s powerhouse vocals and Brooks’ signature storytelling charm. After the final note, Brooks turned to the camera and jokingly addressed his wife: “Miss Yearwood, that wasn’t fun,” he said before breaking into a grin. “That was amazing!”

The duet was intimate yet impactful, blending Clarkson’s modern pop flair with Brooks’ rich country tones to create a rendition that felt raw and authentic. Fans flooded the comments section of the YouTube video, raving about the duo’s undeniable chemistry. “Kelly doesn’t just sing a song; she makes you feel it and understand it,” wrote one fan. Another added, “The musical chemistry between Kelly and Garth is off-the-charts. I desperately want a real duet single from them!” A third fan chimed in, “I could listen to them sing all day. They’re both so talented and have such great personalities. This was so much fun to watch!”

Clarkson and Brooks proved that *Shallow* is a song that transcends genres, and their collaboration remains a standout moment for fans of both artists.
