Kelly Clarkson delivered a stunning cover of a Reba McEntire ballad during the “Kellyoke” performance on The Kelly Clarkson Show. Clarkson shared her rendition of McEntire’s “Till You Love Me” on Wednesday (May 1)
McEntire released “Till You Love Me” on her 10-track studio album, Read My Mind, in 1994. That album also included “I Won’t Stand in Line,” “She Thinks His Name Was John,” “Why Haven’t I Heard From You,” “And Still,” “The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter” and more.
“The sunlight, the moonlight are beyond my control/ And there are stars in the heavens that I'll never hold/ But if dreams give you power/ Then I'm strong enough to offer my heart/ And never give up till you love me/ Till you love me”
McEntire is known for countless classic country hits throughout her career, beginning in the 1970s. The beloved music legend is known for fan-favorites like “Fancy,” “The Night The Lights Went Out In Georgia,” “Does He Love You” with Linda Davis, “Is There Life Out There,” “Walk On,” “I’m A Survivor” and many others. McEntire recently confirmed that she’s “performing brand new music” when she takes the stage at the 59th ACM Awards this month. McEntire is returning to host the awards show for the 17th time, more than any other artist, the Academy of Country Music recently announced. The show is returning to Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas, set for Thursday, May 16 at 8 pm ET / 5 pm PT.
Clarkson has previously performed covers of country songs by some of the genre’s biggest legends and rising stars. She’s previously paid tribute to Keith Urban, Maren Morris, Lainey Wilson, Kylie Morgan, Jelly Roll, Keith Whitley, Hank Williams Jr. and many others. Watch her perform “Till You Love Me” here:
