Garth Brooks sheds tears when Kelly Clarkson sings his song ‘The Dance’.

Garth Brooks is a country music legend and one of the most successful artists in the genre’s history. He has won countless awards and accolades for his hit songs, including “The Dance,” which remains one of his most beloved tunes. However, it seems that even after all these years, the song still has the power to move him to tears, especially when it is performed by Kelly Clarkson.

In an interview with Billboard in 2018, Brooks revealed that he first heard Clarkson’s rendition of “The Dance” during her residency in Las Vegas and was deeply touched by it. He explained that the song had always been special to him but hearing her sing it had given him a new appreciation for its lyrics and melody. He went on to say that he was so moved by her performance that he found himself weeping.

Clarkson’s version of “The Dance” is a stripped-down, emotive take on the classic tune that showcases her powerful vocals and raw emotion. She imbues the song with a vulnerability and depth that perfectly captures the bittersweet sentiment of the lyrics. It seems that her interpretation of the song struck a chord with Brooks, who has since gone on record to praise her talent and artistry.

For Brooks, hearing someone else perform his songs is a surreal experience, but when it’s done as well as Clarkson’s version of “The Dance,” it can be a truly humbling and emotional moment. The fact that such a seasoned performer like Brooks can still find himself moved to tears by a song he wrote over two decades ago is a testament to the enduring power of music and its ability to touch our hearts and souls.
