From American Idol to the National Mall — not too shabby! Kelly Clarkson today (January 21) performed “My Country, ‘Tis Of Thee” in front of 800,000 people and President Barack Obama following the president’s second inaugural address. Clarkson has been on some big stages, but she was visibly (and adorably) nervous for the historic event. Soon enough, though, she settled into the song and ended up belting out the final melody, sparking Senator Chuck Schumer to exclaim, “Wow,” before introducing the next guest. Watch it up top.
