It doesn’t matter how big of a star Kelly Clarkson is. Just like the rest of us, she’s a huge fan of Taylor Swift and Beyonce too.

In a recent interview, Clarkson shared stories behind the intimate songs on her newly released album Piece by Piece, as well as her plans to cover both Tay and Bey on her upcoming tour. I wonder if she'll get American Idol flashbacks from when she had to do cover versions, but this time she'll have to do the full version not just 90 seconds.

Clarkson revealed that the emotional title track of her album was inspired both by the intensity of becoming a mother to daughter River Rose and being left by her own father growing up.

Meanwhile, fans can check out her cover choices when she tours this summer with supporting acts Eric Hutchinson and Pentatonix.
