Kelly Clarkson is back with another rendition of a timeless pop culture ballad and fans are playing it on repeat, as always. The 2002 American Idol winner opted for a festive Valentine’s Day-appropriate song on an episode of The Kelly Clarkson Show. The 41-year-old sang Nat King Cole’s “L-O-V-E,” and she absolutely nailed it.

When the moment was shared to Instagram, fans were quick to point out how incredible the three-time Grammy Award-winning artist looked in her sweet deep blue satin gown featuring a slim silhouette, a V-neckline and flowy, whimsical sleeves. The country music star opted for a super glowy makeup look, including feathered brows, dark lashes and liner, rosy blush and a glossy pink lip.

The mom of two, who shares her kids River Rose and Remington Alexander with ex-husband Brandon Blackstock, styled her caramel brown locks into smooth waves and her bangs were freshly blown out.

“Happy Valentine’s Day y’all! Shoutout your L-O-V-E ❤️,” the talk show’s official account captioned the video shared with its 2.2 million followers.

“FLAWLESS,” Jim Verraros commented.

“This is my weekday daily dose from Kelly, exciting to find out which song she will cover, enjoy and appreciate 😍❤🎤,” one fan chimed.

“this is for the parent trap fans (me) 😍,” another wrote, in reference to the song that is featured in the classic 1998 film Parent Trap starring Lindsay Lohan, Natasha Richardson and Dennis Quaid.

“Amazing! Kelly can sing any style with such an amazing voice. So captivating,” someone else gushed of Clarkson’s rendition.
