Still, hoards of fans have been eager to hear her tear into a real hit – so to hear Kelly cover Taylor Swift’s massively popular “Blank Space” might be a little bittersweet if you’re still waiting for Clarkson to find her next “Since U Been Gone”.

The inaugural “American Idol” champion’s 90-minute show Sunday night, July 26, at the DTE Energy Music Theatre had no dancers or choreography, no pops or pyrotechnics, not even any confetti.
To no one’s surprise, Kelly Clarkson‘s cover of “Blank Space” is pure perfection.
Is there nothing Kelly Clarkson can’t sing?
And Swift isn’t the only artist getting the Kelly treatment. She has also covered N*SYNC’s “Bye Bye Bye” and Ellie Goulding’s “Love Me Like You Do”.
Clarkson told Entertainment Weekly that on tours, she asks an audience member to pick a song for her to cover. Clarkson covered Rihanna’s new release for BCC Radio 1.
The song was a fan request and Clarkson gracefully accepted the challenged as she added her own spin to the hit.
Yes, we now live in a world where we have to talk about every single cover the American Idol queen does on her Piece By Piece tour (or elsewhere). “Thankful” went to No. 1 on the Billboard charts and was certified multiplatinum by the RIAA.

Clarkson quickly replied back with some more love.
