It was a family affair on September 26 when The Kelly Clarkson Show turned into a heartwarming family reunion. Kelly Clarkson welcomed Reba McEntire, the mother of her husband Brandon Blackstock, onto the show. This wasn't just any guest appearance; it was a celebration of family, friendship, and mutual admiration between two powerhouse women in the music industry.
Family Ties and A Touch of Awkwardness
Kelly kicked off the segment with a laugh, admitting how strange it felt to have family on the show. "This is so weird, because when you're friends and family with someone and you have them on your show, it's awkward," she joked. Kelly then playfully remarked, "I ended up marrying her oldest son and you got stuck with me — more!" It was a light-hearted moment that set the tone for the rest of the show, showcasing the genuine bond between the two women.
To Kelly's humorous comment, Reba responded with just two words that brought the house down: "Thank goodness." It was a perfect example of the easygoing rapport they share, proving that family ties can make even the most formal settings feel like home.

It’s no secret that Kelly has Reba’s seal of approval. The two share a close bond, and it’s clear why. During the segment, Kelly expressed her admiration for Reba, calling her a "musical beast" and a "pioneer for women." She continued, "Out of all the fun we’ve had, I always have my little moments with you because I know we’re friends and family, but you’re always, like, that hero to me—especially musically. Like, you’re just a beast, like, a pioneer for women. It’s insane."
But it’s not just about the music. Kelly praised Reba’s versatility, saying, "I think what’s amazing about your career is you’re a businesswoman, you’ve conquered Broadway, you’ve conquered TV [and] you’ve conquered movies. You’ve done everything you could possibly want to do." Kelly’s heartfelt words highlighted the respect and admiration she has for her mother-in-law, showcasing the deep connection they share.
What's Next for Reba?
With all that praise, Kelly couldn’t help but ask the inevitable question: "What is the next mountain? Because you’ve already mastered everything." Reba, ever the humble star, responded by saying, "Well, I haven’t mastered or conquered anything, I want y’all to know. I’ve just gotten to participate. People were nice enough to let me be a part of."
But Reba didn’t stop there. She shared her dream of doing an authentic Western movie or television show. "I tell you what I’d really love to do. I want to do an authentic Western movie, or a television show," she revealed. Kelly was thrilled at the idea, saying, "People would love that," and adding that there are so many platforms that could bring her idea to life. "We can make this happen," Kelly enthusiastically declared.
Elsewhere during the episode, Kelly surprised a superfan of Reba's by bringing her out on stage. The fan shared a touching story about her mother, who was diagnosed with terminal breast cancer four years ago and given only two years to live. Despite the odds, her mom has become an inspiration to all, proving that some fighters just refuse to give up. It was a powerful moment that highlighted the strength and resilience of the human spirit.
