After eight seasons of coaching The Voice, Kelly Clarkson took a break in 2022. On the program, she frequently argued with her longtime friend and fellow coach, Blake Shelton, which led to some humorous scenes.

Although Clarkson was not on The Voice at the time, Shelton appeared on her talk program, The Kelly Clarkson Program, to talk about the upcoming season, which will premiere in September 2022. Their reunion also provided the ideal chance for them to sing a duet.

Austin” turns 20 in 2021. Shelton commemorated the song’s birthday with a special performance at the ACM Awards that year.

Shelton and Clarkson had been discussing “Austin” on her program, and Clarkson expressed an interest in singing the song with him. So he began playing his acoustic guitar and singing the song’s introduction while Clarkson watched in admiration.

Clarkson eventually joined the chorus, beaming the whole time she sang. Shelton asked her to take over and sing the final line solo, which Clarkson was delighted to do.

We’d love to hear Clarkson sing another of Shelton’s tunes with him!
