Even Without Face Tattoos, Kelly Clarkson Nails Her Cover of Post Malone's "Better Now"

Updated on Nov 14, 2019 at 6:35 AM

Post Malone continues to transcend genres. Alicia Keys previously covered the rapper's "Congratulations" at the 2019 iHeartRadio Music Festival, and now Kelly Clarkson has performed his once-ubiquitous 2018 song "Better Now" on her talk show. (Watch out, Niall Horan.) Though the singer and Voice coach couldn't be more different from Malone — starting with the noticeable absence of any face tattoos — she still managed to make the heartbreak song her own. The unexpected cover is the latest in her ongoing "Kellyoke" segment, which has gifted viewers with covers including Lady Gaga's "Bad Romance," "Can't Feel My Face" by The Weeknd, and many more.
