Kelly Clarksonlived out her childhood dream duringGarth Brooks’appearance on Monday’s episode ofThe Kelly Clarkson Show, tearing up when the country megastar serenaded her with hisBob Dylancover.
It all began when theAmerican Idolalum, 37, started to talk about “Make You Feel My Love” — which Brooks, 57, covered as a bonus track for his 1998The Limited Seriesbox set — during the “Kellyoke” segment of her daytime talk show.
According to her, she had always thought the love song was Brooks’ original track until she discovered Dylan’s version as an adult.
“I justrecently did that songon the show withBen Platt, but here’s the funny thing: He knew of that song because of Bob Dylan. I had no idea that Bob Dylan existed when I was a kid,” Clarkson said. “Nobody around me listened to Bob Dylan, but I sure as hell knew your version. I thought it was a Garth Brooks song like until I was 20!”
“If you would have told me as a kid that that moment would have happened? I’m sorry,” she said, wiping tears from her eyes. “I just can’t believe my life sometimes, that you’re just sitting here serenading me.”

Clarkson also gushed about Brooks’ wife, singerTrisha Yearwood, during the episode.
“She is the greatest vocalist,” she told Brooks. “You knowI’m a nerd for her. Her voice is like the sound of crystal.”
“Well, the crazy thing is: Awards are as good as people’s names are on them. Compliments are as good as people who give them,” Brooks praised Clarkson. “You’re a freak of nature. Everybody in the business knows you have no ceiling. For you to say that about her, she would sit here andsay the exact same thing about you.”
