Kelly Clarkson Hit Her Most Soulful High Notes Yet on This Chris Stapleton Cover
We love this sound for her!
Though she typically sings heart-pounding full-belt pop anthems, Kelly Clarkson is a Texas girl by birth, and she can tap into her country side when she wants to. In a recent episode of The Kelly Clarkson Show, the singer used that ability to great effect, performing Chris Stapleton's "I Was Wrong" for Kellyoke. Time for a country album, perhaps?
Listen in the video, above.
About "I Was Wrong" by Chris Stapleton
Like the title says, the song is about admitting that you are wrong, confessing your sins and trying to make amends. The song is from Stapleton's 2017 album, From A Room: Volume 1.
Stapleton started his career as a writer for other Nashville stars, and his tunes continue to be popular among singers of all stripes. He's a favorite on The Voice; recently, Morgan Myles performed Stapleton’s “Tennessee Whiskey” during the Top 10 in the fall of 2022.
In fact, Clarkson, who was previously a Coach on The Voice (Seasons 14-21, 23), worked with Stapleton on her Christmas song "Glow." "It was so awesome. He responded so quickly [when I asked him to collaborate]…anyway, he said yes, and it was so magical. I love his voice," Clarkson told fans on Instagram.

"I Was Wrong" by Chris Stapleton lyrics
I've been thinking 'bout my thoughtless words
And I know just how much they must have hurt
And I take it back
Won't you let me take it back?
You know I told you that I don't love you
That I'd be better off with someone new
But I take it back
Won't you let me take it back?

Girl, you know that I still love you
And you know that I'm so alone
I don't know why
I told you that I didn't need you
Can't you see that, baby, I was wrong?
What I wouldn't give to be your lover again
All I want to do is touch your skin, yeah
If I had you right here right now
Tell you, tell you, tell you, tell you
Girl, you know that I still love you
And you know that I'm so alone
I don't know why
I told you that I didn't need you
Can't you see that, baby, I was wrong?
