Country music icon’s ultimate compliment, Kelly Clarkson’s kids steal the show | Music City Minute

Aug 1, 2025, 4:26 PM

Shania Twain has inspired and entertained generations of fans. One of the best examples of her influence was shared with her audience in Jacksonville, Florida. The “Any Man of Mine” singer stopped for performance and invited two fans on stage after their sign caught her attention. The couple explained that country icon meant so much to them, that they named their baby daughter after her. The interaction was posted to Twain’s social media pages with a gushing caption about how special it was to meet the couple.
Last weekend, Kelly Clarkson surprised her residency audience with two very special guests. The singer and daytime talk show host invited her kids, River and Remi, onto the Caesars Palace stage for a family rendition of “Since You’ve Been Gone.” Not only did Clarkson’s kids sing the hit song word for word, they also inspired a giant dance party.
I’m Sheena, and that’s Music City Minute.
