    Kelly Clarkson Moves Jelly Roll to Tears with Emotional “Save Me” Cover

    Fans of The Kelly Clarkson Show know that her Kellyoke segment delivers standout covers from all genres, but one performance last year struck a particularly deep chord. Clarkson’s emotional rendition of Jelly Roll’s “Save Me” not only wowed her studio audience—it brought Jelly Roll himself to tears.

    After the performance began circulating online, Jelly Roll took to X to share his reaction. “I would’ve never believed you if you’d told me I’d write a song so impactful that the incredible Kelly Clarkson would deem it worthy to cover,” he wrote. “Thank you, Kelly—wow. I’m honored in a way I can’t even describe. I cried watching it.”

    The Rise of “Save Me”
    Originally featured on Jelly Roll’s debut country album Whitsitt Chapel, “Save Me” became an even bigger hit as a duet with Lainey Wilson. The collaboration shot to No. 1 on both the Billboard Country Airplay and Mediabase charts in just 13 weeks, becoming the fastest-rising chart-topper for both artists.

    The song’s success also earned Jelly Roll and Wilson a nomination for Best Country Duo/Group Performance at the 2024 Grammys, further cementing its impact.

    Clarkson’s moving cover served as another milestone for a song that has resonated with countless listeners—proving its power extends far beyond the original recording.

    “A FLEETING REMARK — BUT THE ENTIRE STAGE OF PRIVATE LIFE LIGHTS UP.” Under the flashing lights of the cameras and the sound of rolling suitcases on the cold stone floor of LAX, Rick Springfield emerged as if he had just been pulled onto an impromptu Hollywood stage. No intro music, no script, he delivered a short but sharp statement, echoing through the noisy space like a guitar note cutting through the silence. That moment suddenly transformed into a post-divorce monologue, where Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban — though absent — were still placed under an invisible spotlight. While the legal documents coldly closed with numbers and clauses, that advice carried the raw rhythm of rock and roll: frank, bold, and unvarnished. The crowd stopped, the cameras held their frames, and the statement spread like a controversial chorus. Not an official performance, but it was a moment when the stage lit up — where a brief remark was enough to stir up all of Hollywood.
