Kelly Clarkson<\/b> covered Olivia Rodrigo<\/b>‘s single “Vampire” for “Kellyoke” during the Halloween episode of the “The Kelly Clarkson Show” on Tuesday (October 31).<\/p>\n
“The way you sold me for parts as you sunk your teeth into me\/Bloodsucker, dream crusher\/ Bleeding me dry, like a damn vampire,” Clarkson, dressed as a blood-sucking vampire, sang with a man fully-clad in black, accompanying on piano. Her face was painted to look ghostly pale and drops of painted blood dripped from her smoky eyes.<\/p>\n
“I love Halloween so much,” Clarkson said after singing the hit song. “We are all different versions of vampires,” she added. “I am a Rock and Roll Vampire. That’s what I’m claiming, ’cause we just went with it!”<\/p>\n
“I just sat down at the piano one day and played these chords that felt kind of gothic to me,” Rodrigo told Rolling Stone<\/I> in June about the song’s inspiration. “I think there’s a lot of vampire lore to be played with like ‘You only come out at night’ and stuff like that. There’s a lot of fun songwriting fodder in there.”<\/p>\n
She added, “I think it reflects the journey that I was going through and the anger that gets pent up in an experience like the one that the song’s about.”<\/p>\n
