Kelly Clarkson’s Daughter Steals the Show in Vegas
River Rose Joins Mom for a Duet That Has Fans Buzzing
Las Vegas is witnessing a new generation of talent as Kelly Clarkson welcomed a surprise guest to her “Studio Session” residency: her own daughter, River Rose.
A Family Affair on Stage
During her performance at Caesars Palace’s Colosseum, Clarkson introduced a special artist who, she jokingly noted, wouldn’t be hitting the road anytime soon due to her ongoing commitment to middle school. The acclaimed singer-songwriter then invited her 11-year-old daughter, River Rose, to share the spotlight.

The mother-daughter duo captivated the audience, performing a rendition of Clarkson‘s hit song, “Heartbeat Song.” Footage from the event shows Clarkson leaning in to support River Rose as she harmonized, delivering a remarkably strong vocal performance for her age.
Audience Enthusiasm and Clarkson’s Return
The crowd responded with enthusiastic cheers and applause throughout their collaboration. This heartwarming appearance marks Clarkson‘s full return to her Las Vegas shows after needing to postpone a couple of performances earlier in July. The cancellations were due to vocal strain from rehearsals, which prevented her from delivering her usual high-caliber performances.
Clarkson, back in top form, seems to have passed on her musical genes, with River Rose showing immense promise. The event highlights a successful comeback for the artist and a potential future star in the making.
The integration of family into live performances is becoming increasingly common. For instance, singer Pink frequently brings her children on stage during her tours, creating memorable moments for fans and strengthening family bonds. Clarkson’s Vegas residency has now added another celebrated family performance to the music scene (Billboard, 2024).
