Watch Kelly Clarkson Effortlessly Belt Zedd, Maren Morris & Grey’s ‘The Middle’
Kelly Clarkson asked fans to meet her in “The Middle” on Monday (Oct. 7) as she took on Zedd, Maren Morris and Grey’s 2018 hit.
Dressed in an aqua blue skirt suit set, the star belted the high-pitched hook flawlessly, adding her own theatrical flair. “Baby, why don’t you just meet me in the middle?/ I’m losing my mind just a little/ So why don’t you just meet me in the middle?/ In the middle,” she sings in the chorus.

Upon its release, “The Middle” skyrocketed to the top of Billboard’s Pop Songs and Hot Dance/Electronic Songs charts and to the top five of the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart. “Maren is so much more than just country,” Zedd previously told Billboard of the cross-genre collaboration. “And I’ve hated how people have put me in boxes my whole career, like, ‘Hey, you’re an EDM guy doing pop.’ No, I’m a musician who enjoys making music. I made metal for 10 years, and before that I made classical music. Literally, the first time I ever heard Maren’s voice was on the demo for ‘The Middle.’ But to me, this was just about who sounds the best.”
