Kelly Clarkson Brings Daughter River Rose Onstage To Perform Duet During Vegas Residency
Kelly Clarkson and her ex-husband, Brandon Blackstock, share two children. They have a daughter, River Rose, and a son, Remington “Remy” Alexander.
In 2023, when River was nine, and Remy was seven, they came to Las Vegas to watch their mom perform. Kelly had a residency at the Bakkt Theater at Planet Hollywood.
It made Kelly happy to have her children with her in Vegas. She posted a photo of River and Remington hugging backstage before the show and captioned it:
“Both of my kiddos backstage getting ready to join me on stage in Vegas…nothing will ever be as cool and amazing as these two little humans that will always have my whole heart.”

First, Remy joined Kelly onstage and had a blast dancing with her. She revealed that he picked the song he wanted her to sing, which was “Whole Lotta Woman.”
While introducing the song, Kelly said, “My son is seven years old. He picked the coolest song for a dude to pick. I was like, ‘He was destined for greatness just for loving this song alone.'”
Remy danced his heart out while Kelly delivered a powerful performance of “Whole Lotta Woman.” One fan captured the moment on video, and shared the clip on TikTok.

Remy has since showcased his talent on The Kelly Clarkson Show. He expertly performed Frank Sinatra’s “My Way” on the show in late 2024.
The original clip Kelly shared of Remy’s performance went mega-viral. So, she released his full performance video, which generated millions of views.
Kelly Clarkson Sings “Heartbeat Song” With Daughter River Rose In Vegas
But did you know Remy’s big sister sings too?
When Kelly’s kids were in Vegas in 2023, she also welcomed River to the stage. Then nine-year-old River joined Kelly to sing her 2015 single “Heartbeat Song.”
Kelly encouraged her daughter by praising how well she did during soundcheck. That gave River the confidence to perform in front of her mom’s Vegas audience.
At one point, Kelly told River to swap out a lyric for a more age-appropriate version. She asked her not to say the word “hell” in the line “Where the hell did you come from?” They sang “heck” instead.
Kelly complimented her daughter after their duet, saying, “You look gorgeous. You did amazing. I love you. I’ll see you in a little bit.” How sweet!
