Kelly Clarkson rocked the iHeartRadio Music Festival in Las Vegas over the weekend, and she took some time to explore the Las Vegas strip.

The “Stronger” singer took to TikTok to share a clip of herself singing Tina Turner’s classic, “What’s Love Got to Do With It,” with a busker who didn’t immediately recognize the star. However, once the street performer realized that Clarkson was holding the mic, she was visibly thrilled as she threw her arms around the singer for a hug. “I was on my way to soundcheck for @iHeartRadio tonight in Vegas and was tipping this incredible woman killing some Tina Turner and then she asked me to sing and had no clue who I was, and then it hit her, and it made my day! She gives the best hugs and sings her tail off! See ya tonight Vegas,” Clarkson captioned the video.

Clarkson is fresh off the release of the deluxe issue of her 10th album, Chemistry, which contains five brand new tracks — “I Won’t Give Up,” “Did You Know,” “You Don’t Make Me Cry” featuring her daughter River Rose, “Goodbye” and “Roses” — in addition remixes of the album singles “Mine” and “Favorite Kind of High” by David Guetta and Ty Sunderland respectively. There’s also a live version of “Mine” live from The Belasco.

Chemistry was initially released on June 23 via Atlantic Records. The set — Clarkson’s first non-holiday and non-covers album since she and ex-husband Brandon Blackstock finalized their divorce — debuted at No. 6 on the July 8-dated Billboard 200, and spent a total of three weeks on the chart following its release.
