In a jaw-dropping moment that left fans gasping, Kelly Clarkson's 11-year-old daughter River Rose joined her mom on stage during her Las Vegas residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace last Friday. The sweet mother-daughter duo performed an unforgettable duet of Clarkson's hit song "Heartbeat Song," leaving the crowd in awe.

In a heartfelt apology message posted on TikTok, Clarkson expressed her regret to fans who had been looking forward to seeing her perform. "Man, I'm so sorry if some of y'all had tickets to last weekend's shows," she said. "I'm so sorry. We can't help our bodies sometimes, and that happens, but thank you for showing up. We're so excited!"
