Earlier this year, Clarkson sang a powerful rendition of McEntire’s 1994 hit “Till You Love Me.” McEntire responded on social media, sharing her love and appreciation for Clarkson’s cover of her song.
Clarkson and McEntire’s relationship dates back to 2002 when Clarkson was just beginning her professional music career on American Idol. The two performed McEntire’s song “Does He Love You” during the Season 1 finale, shortly before Clarkson was named the show’s first-ever winner.
Not only that but the two were technically family at one point. Clarkson was previously married to Brandon Blackstock, the son of McEntire’s ex-husband, Narvel Blackstock.
