Kelly Clarkson honored her fellow coach on The Voice, Blake Shelton, with a cover of one of his biggest hits on The Kelly Clarkson Show.
On Wednesday (Jan. 4), the Emmy-award-winning daytime talk show host paid homage to Shelton with the performance of his chart-topping hit, “Honey Bee,” alongside her band, Y’all.
“You’ll be my soft and sweet / I’ll be your strong and steady / You’ll be my glass of wine / I’ll be your shot of whiskey / You’ll be my sunny day / I’ll be your shade tree / You’ll be my honeysuckle / I’ll be your honey bee,” Clarkson sings.

“Honey Bee” was released as a single from Shelton’s Red River Blue album in April 2011. The chart-topping hit was co-written by Rhett Akins and Ben Hayslip and produced by Shelton’s longtime collaborator, Scott Hendrinks.
The tune was nominated for Best Country Solo Performance for the 54h Annual GRAMMY Awards, however, Taylor Swift’s “Mean” took home the title.
Clarkson has shared a variety of covers during the “Kellyoke” segment of The Kelly Clarkson Show, including renditions of Blake Shelton‘s “Who Are You When I’m Not Looking,” Billy Currington’s “Let Me Down Easy,” Pam Tillis’ “Maybe It Was Memphis,” Wynonna’s “No One Else On Earth” and Jo Dee Messina’s “Heads Carolina, Tails California.
