Kelly Clarkson’s recent performance at the Bakkt Theater in Las Vegas wasn’t just a concert—it was a heartwarming family celebration that brought the audience to tears. The powerhouse singer, known for her powerhouse vocals and emotional ballads, took the stage with her two young children, River Rose and Remington “Remy” Alexander, creating a moment that will live on in the hearts of her fans.
What started as a typical tour stop quickly became something much more special when Clarkson invited her 9-year-old daughter, River Rose, and 7-year-old son, Remy, to join her on stage for a live rendition of her 2015 hit, “Heartbeat Song.” The crowd’s reaction was instant, with many wiping away tears as the family trio turned the performance into a beautiful, cozy family affair.
River Rose’s love for “Heartbeat Song” is no secret. Clarkson shared with the audience that since she was a toddler, River Rose has been obsessed with the song. So much so that when Kelly asked her kids which song they’d like to perform on tour, River Rose confidently picked this one. “Please let me sing this song,” she insisted. And sing she did, as the pint-sized star shone during the soundcheck, impressing her mother and crew with her vocal chops.
The crowd couldn’t get enough of River Rose’s stage presence, and fans took to social media to share their excitement. “That’s a moment she will never forget,” one fan wrote, while another commented, “A star is born!” It’s clear that River Rose is growing into her own as a performer, and thanks to Kelly’s encouragement, she gained the confidence to shine under the spotlight. Clarkson beamed with pride, calling her daughter’s performance a “total killer.”
But the family magic didn’t stop there. The following night, Clarkson invited River Rose back to sing again, this time with her younger brother, Remy, joining in on the fun. Together, they rocked the stage, with the whole family bonding over music and love, filling the theater with an infectious energy.
It’s moments like these that remind fans of Clarkson’s down-to-earth nature and the love she shares with her children.

River Rose and Remy, born in June 2014 and April 2016, respectively, have grown up in the spotlight, and it’s clear that the Clarkson family shares a special bond, with music being the glue that keeps them close.
