Clarkson’s “Song & Stories” segment has delivered countless memorable moments with her guests. Like in September 2024 when Clarkson and Lambert performed a gorgeous rendition of Chappell Roan’s “Good Luck, Babe!” that left fans in awe.

And, of course, when Morissette appeared on the segment and performed some of her most famous songs like "Jagged Little Pill,” “Ironic,” and “Hand in My Pocket” with Clarkson. During their interview, Clarkson told Morissette that her music was the reason she bought her first dictionary. 

“I bought my first dictionary because of you,” Clarkson laughed as she talked with Morissette about how her music impacted her as she was growing up. “I was very young and I was like, ‘What are these words? They mean something, and I need to look them up!’”

More of these incredible moments are in store when NBC’s special Songs & Stories with Kelly Clarkson premieres in summer 2025.
