‘Birds Of A Feather’, which is in contention for Record of the Year and Song of the Year at the forthcoming Grammy Awards this Sunday (February 2), was given a classic rendition by Clarkson and her band.

While retaining the song’s original dreamy indie rock arrangement, Clarkson lends it her soaring vocal range that ends it on a high note. This marks the second Eilish song that Clarkson has attempted, the first being 2021’s ‘Happier Than Ever’. Watch it below.

‘Kellyoke’ has seen Clarkson cover the likes of Weezer, Chappell Roan, The Last Dinner Party, and My Chemical Romance, among others. It also birthed a covers EP by Clarkson in 2022.

Earlier this month, it was revealed that ‘Birds Of A Feather’ was the most streamed song on Spotify in 2024, beating Sabrina Carpenter‘s ‘Espresso’. The latter finished 650,000 streams behind on 1,774,525,704 listens on the streaming platform.

Eilish’s hit also reached Number Two in the official UK singles chart and in the same position in Billboard’s Hot 100 in the US.

The ‘Hit Me Hard And Soft’ star is up for seven Grammy categories this weekend – aside from the top song categories, she’s also in the running for Album of the Year, Best Pop Solo Performance, Best Pop Duo/Group Performance (for her Charli XCX collaboration ‘Guess’), Best Pop Vocal Album and Best Dance Pop Recording. See the full list of nominees here.

Later today, Eilish will perform at FireAid, a benefit concert in light of the recent Los Angeles wildfires, alongside Finneas, Gracie Abrams, Earth, Wind & Fire, John Mayer, among others.
