Kelly Clarkson and River RoseClarkson shares both of her children with her ex-husband Brandon Blackstock.
In August 2023, both Remy and River joined the Grammy Winner onstage at her Las Vegas residency. While chatting with PEOPLE for her 2024 cover story, the mom of two revealed that the family performance was actually the kids' idea.
"They were a little nervous, but it was their idea, not mine," Clarkson told PEOPLE. Performing in front of a sold-out theater, River opted for a duet of her mom's hit "Heartbeat Song," while Remington gleefully danced backup as Clarkson sang "Whole Lotta Woman."
As her kids watched their mom captivate the audience, "I was like, 'I feel like how you're looking at me is how you watch Spider-Man,' " Clarkson recalled. "It caught me completely off guard, and it was the most magical moment because they were so happy and at ease. They were just in awe."
