Jelly Roll is known for its long list of collaborations with everyone from MGK to Lainey Wilson to Cody Johnson. On Wednesday (October 16), the country star added another powerhouse singer to that list: Kelly Clarkson.

Jelly appeared on Wednesday’s episode of The Kelly Clarkson Show to join forces with the emcee on a soulful version of Jelly Roll’s “I Am Not Okay,” which currently sits at No. 2 on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart.

In an earlier video of the two artists’ soundcheck before the performance, they shared some light-hearted jokes as they rehearsed the song. “Kelly and Jelly, dude!” Jelly Roll said at one point. Clarkson also shared her excitement to sing the song. “This song is so good,” Clarkson said. “I’m so excited that he has me singing on his song ‘I Am Not Ok.’ And it’s so, so good.”

She went on to add of Jelly Roll, “I’m just a huge fan. I like authenticity and I like real messages. I think real things really matter.”

The singer also sat down with Clarkson for an interview during his performance, where he was promoting his new album, while opening up about lowering his defenses to write songs like “I Am Not Okay.”

“I think vulnerability is my superpower,” he said, revealing how he has changed over the years. “I was a typical, angry, alpha, always aggressive guy for a long time, and I almost had a mean spirit about me and that didn’t do me any good. I had no emotions, I was just very flat with everyone in life. My heart changed, man, I had a relationship with God, I had a child, I married a woman who is simply the best woman on the planet, and it immediately softened my heart.

On Friday (October 11), Jelly Roll released the 22-track album Beautifully brokenincluding an expanded version that added five more songs, including collaborations with Halsey, Keith Urban, Ernest and more.
