Kelly Clarkson lends her vocals to “You’re Drunk, Go Home,” one of the tracks on Kelsea Ballerini’s recently released Subject to Change album, along with Carly Pearce. And while Carly is a noted wine enthusiast, it was actually Kelly who might have been just a little bit overserved when she went to the studio to record her part of the song.
Kelly shared the story — at least, the parts of it fit for television — during a recent episode of The Kelly Clarkson Show, where Kelsea was on hand to discuss her new record.
The day Kelsea texted her about a duet, Kelly says, was last day of work before taking some time off, and she’d already gotten a head start on her vacation.
“I had already been celebrating that it was my last day of work,” the singer explains. But when she heard the song and got Kelsea’s request for a duet, she knew she had sing on it — so she went to the studio.
“So I had to sing a song called ‘You’re Drunk, Go Home,’ inebriated, trying to sing for soprano parts like I’m fine,” Kelly continues.
In fact, there’s a full recording that no one — not even Kelsea — has heard yet, the singer goes on to say. “There is a full track that we have to send to you of me just crying and laughing so hard,” Kelly says. “I almost peed my pants.”
Subject to Change came out September 23.
