Kelly Clarkson Surprises Fans With “Broken & Beautiful” Performance at Billboard Music Awards

At the 2019 Billboard Music Awards, Kelly Clarkson stunned the audience with an unexpected performance during her hosting duties. After receiving an outpouring of support and excitement from the crowd, Clarkson decided to treat everyone to a lively rendition of Broken & Beautiful, a song from the animated movie UglyDolls. Her energetic and engaging performance had the entire room on their feet, clapping and dancing along. Clarkson’s powerful vocals and infectious energy turned an already unforgettable night into an even more memorable one, leaving fans buzzing long after the performance ended.

Kelly Clarkson took a brief break from her duties as host to perform a track from the upcoming animated film UglyDolls at the Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas (May 1).

Earlier in the night, Clarkson kicked off the show by showing exactly why she’s well-suited to host a music awards show by delivering a medley of Hot 100 hits from Ella Mai, Cardi B, Florida Georgia Line and many more. But as it neared its end, she returned to the stage in a hot pink floor-length dress to perform a song of her own.

The moment she started, Khalid, Brendon Urie (who had just performed himself) and Shay Mooney were spotted singing along to the uplifting song about accepting one’s cracks and flaws. By the song’s powerful end, which included backing vocals and drumming from a children’s musical group, everyone was on there their feet — Chrissy Metz even shed some tears.
