Elle King releases personal song, Warren Zeiders looks to work with Kelly Clarkson | Music City Minute

Jan 2, 2025, 3:52 PM

Elle King has shared a very personal song called “Banned from the Grand Ole Opry.” The tune reflects on her headline-grabbing 2024 performance for “The Opry Goes Dolly,” which ended very badly. The “Ex’s & Oh’s” singer expresses regret for her actions that night and goes on to name drop other high-profile country acts who were also banned from the Opry like Hank Sr., Johnny Cash and Merle Haggard. Since that fateful night, Elle has put a lot of energy into turning her life around for the better.
Remember Warren Zeiders stopped by the Kelly Clarkson show and there was obvious chemistry? Well, Zeiders would like to turn that chemistry into something more – musically, at least. The “Ride The Lightning” singer told People magazine that if the right material came down the line, he and Clarkson would make a great collaborative team. I’m pretty sure the TV host would co-sign on a collaboration with Zeiders, professional or personal.
