They’ve performed together as coaches on The Voice, but there’s something about Kelly Clarkson and Blake Shelton enjoying a simple duet on set of Clarkson’s show together that tugs the heartstrings. On a Road Trip episode of The Kelly Clarkson Show, Clarkson invited Shelton to the set with his guitar.

The two sang a charming duet of Shelton’s 2001 song “Austin.” Shelton accompanied on his guitar, while Clarkson sang harmonies with him. Before starting, Shelton joked that “I’ve never heard you sing on this show,” which Clarkson got a laugh from. Of course, she starts every show by singing a cover for Kellyoke. Then, Shelton launched into the song.

As the video claims, “Blake Shelton & Kelly Clarkson DUET of our dreams!” Fans in the comments loved the stripped-back nature of their duet as well. They also commented on Kelly Clarkson’s talent, and begged for a Shelton/Clarkson series of duets. “Such a beautiful song, her duet on his song is just magic,” one person wrote.

“Love Blake Shelton and Kelly Clarkson. They are awesome artists and they do a great job on The Voice,” another fan noted. This comment was, of course, from 2023, when both Shelton and Clarkson were still on The Voice for season 23. They both left after that season, however. Still, fans hold a soft spot for the two. Many wish one or both of them would return to the show. Clarkson, however, is busy with her wildly successful daytime talk show, while Shelton is occupied by being married to Gwen Stefani.
