Kelly Clarkson, Chris Stapleton Team Up On New Christmas Song ‘Glow’

Kelly Clarkson and Chris Stapleton have teamed up for “Glow,” a brand-new Christmas song from Clarkson’s 15-track holiday album, When Christmas Comes Around, which arrived last week.

The song sees the stars delivering lovely vocals and harmonies. “Nothing has changed, I still wish you could be / Wrapped up in my arms, spending Christmas with me / When it gets cold is when I notice the most / With all the lights on the trees, even Christmas can’t compete with your glow,” Kelly and Stapleton sing in the chorus.

Clarkson said in an interview during the “The Bobby Bones Show” that she was initially on tenterhooks as she waited for Stapleton’s agreement to team up with her for the song.

“I just feel like everybody asks him to sing, and I get really nervous asking because I’ve been turned down a lot with singing with people. So, I got really nervous, but I was so excited he said yes, and like I said, he turned the music around so quickly, and his voice is just magical,” she recalled.

Clarkson also revealed that Stapleton has been a big inspiration to her.

“There are a few artists that really move me and make me want to be a better singer and make me want to do better and inspire me creatively. He has been [that] since before everyone knew him,” she said.
