The Kelly Clarkson Show is back for Season 3 and superstar host and artist Kelly Clarkson is showcasing her Texas roots with a cover of Faith Hill‘s “Let’s Go To Vegas.”

Clarkson performed the track during the fan-favorite “Kellyoke” segment of her talk show, putting her own honky-tonk spin on the 1995 hit.

Backed by her house band, Y’all, Clarkson had the in-house audience up on their feet, singing and clapping along.

“Let’s Go To Vegas” was written by Karen Staley and recorded by Hill as the lead single from her second studio album, It Matters To Me.
