Wed Jan 18 2012 by Becky Bain
Just like Taylor Swift did on her Speak Now tour, Kelly Clarkson is incorporating different covers in each one of her stops as she travels the country on her Stronger tour. Though Swift's picks were decided upon the city she was in, Kelly is leaving it up to her fans. And her fans have good taste: while in Albany, New York, Clarkson delivered a wonderful cover of Coldplay's weepy "Fix You", and a few days prior at Foxwoods in Connecticut, she put her spin on Carrie Underwood's "I Know You Won't" and Cee Lo Green's "Forget You".

Tue Dec 6 2011 by Erika Brooks Adickman
Carrie Underwood didn’t just clean up at the 2011 American Country Awards, she looked darn good doing it too. The triple ACA winner stepped out in Las Vegas last night in a ravishing white strapless dress. New Artist Of The Year Scotty McCreery posed on the red carpet alongside his lovely American Idol competitor Lauren Alaina. Also turning heads at the ACAs was another Idol alum, Jordin Sparks, who looked fabulous in her form-fitting ensemble. As for country/pop star Taylor Swift, she was nowhere to be seen. Perhaps Billboard’s Woman Of The Year predicted the awards show would be giving her the cold shoulder. Check out the arrival highlights from the MGM Grand. More »

Tue Nov 15 2011 by Idolator Staff
We wonder if Kelly Clarkson had any flashbacks to her American Idol days while filming her acoustic set for VH1 Unplugged? Regardless, some Idol love definitely found its way into the show, as Season One victor Clarkson covered Season 4 champ Carrie Underwood's "I Know You Won't." (A better choice than Ruben Studdard or Taylor Hicks, we think.) This isn't the first time the Toyota Camry cruiser has trotted out "I Know You Won't" for fans — they went bananas for it at last month's concert at the Troubador — but we'll never tire of this flawless Idol-on-Idol lovefest. Catch the Carrie cover along with Kelly's unplugged "What Doesn't Kill You (Stronger)" below.
