Kelly Clarkson, Miranda Lambert Add Southern Flair to Cover of Chappell Roan’s ‘Good Luck, Babe!’

Country music artist Miranda Lambert plays two artists on repeat: Bell Bottom Country singer Lainey Wilson and pop supernova Chappell Roan. The “Bluebird” singer appeared on The Kelly Clarkson Show Tuesday, singing a duet with Clarkson of Roan’s “Good Luck, Babe!” The stars sang a raspy rendition of the chart-topping track. Clarkson belted the chorus, “Good Luck, Babe!” as Lambert provided backing vocals.

Lambert said her brother and his husband first introduced her to the rising star, and she regrets missing the pop star’s medieval-themed performance at the MTV Video Music Awards. Lambert added that she appreciates Roan’s authenticity, and wanted Roan to know “she’s so brave.”

One of Roan’s acts of bravery is standing up against predatory fan behavior. Roan, who graces the cover of the November issue of Rolling Stone, has discussed how she’s received unwanted advances from fans as she reaches stratospheric stardom. She told Rolling Stone that she had a stalker that appeared at her parents’ home and her New York hotel room, which prompted her to get security. Since the fan altercations, artists including Billie Eilish, Katy Perry, Charli XCX, and Lorde have all checked in with Roan.

Lambert and Clarkson are the latest stars to sing country-tinged renditions of Roan’s pop tracks. Kacey Musgraves has been covering “Pink Ponk Club” every night of her new tour,  Caylee Hammack released a solo banjo rendition of “Good Luck, Babe!” earlier this month, and “indie outlaw” singer Sarah Gross posted a cover of “Red Wine Supernova” in April — which she called “The honky-tonkification of Chappell Roan.”

Lambert told Rolling Stone in July that her ninth album Postcards From Texas, which arrived Sept. 13, shares a resemblance to her 2005 major label debut album.

“I’m still making music that could’ve been on Kerosene,” Lambert said, adding that the new 14-track album is also an ode to her home state. “I’ve evolved as an artist, but that fiery girl is still here in the forefront.”
