While American Idol has crowned numerous winners over the years, back in 2002, the show aired its first season. And marking her debut as a rising star, Kelly Clarkson used her time on the show to do more than win as she went on to snag three Grammy Awards, several Daytime Emmy Awards, and even a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Helming her own show while VH1 listed her 19th on the 100 Greatest Women in Music, Clarkson continues to prove herself a top talent in the music industry as she recently covered a Chris Stapleton song that had fans demanding a country album.

Besides releasing new music and performing on stage, Clarkson is also the host of The Kelly Clarkson Show. And recently, she shocked fans with a cover of Stapleton’s “I Was Wrong.”

I would just cry.” Another comment insisted, “We need a country classics album.”
