During a concert already filled with standout performances, Keith Urban created a moment that stood apart—a genuine surprise that touched everyone in attendance.
Midway through his set in Nashville, Urban paused. The arena quieted in anticipation. What followed was a gesture of warmth and connection that transformed the evening into something truly memorable.
With kindness in his tone and a smile on his face, Urban welcomed 8-year-old Remington “Remy” Blackstock—the son of singer Kelly Clarkson—onto the stage. Together, they performed “Because of You,” the deeply personal ballad that first brought Clarkson international acclaim.
A MOVING PERFORMANCE THAT TOUCHED EVERY HEART IN THE ROOM When 8-year-old Remy Blackstock stepped onto the stage, the crowd welcomed him with overwhelming support. Keith Urban leaned down, offered a few soft words, and nodded. What followed was a heartfelt duet that no one in the arena will soon forget.
Singing alongside Urban, Remy brought a quiet sincerity to “Because of You,” the very song that once gave voice to his mother Kelly Clarkson’s deepest emotions. Their voices—one seasoned, the other innocent—wove together in a way that felt deeply personal and universally moving.
Off to the side, Kelly looked on with tears in her eyes, visibly affected by the moment. The song that once told her story was now being passed down to a new generation—through her son’s voice.
As phones lit up across the venue, capturing the performance, many in the audience were brought to tears. What began as a concert became something more—a shared experience of music, memory, and connection.
“YOU’VE GOT YOUR MOM’S SOUL, KID” — KEITH URBAN After the final chord rang out, Urban hugged Remy with pride and said with a warm smile:
“You’ve got your mom’s soul, kid.”
The crowd responded with a standing ovation.
What unfolded that night wasn’t just a sweet surprise—it was a reminder of music’s ability to carry emotion across generations. A rare, authentic moment of family, artistry, and love, forever etched in the memories of everyone who witnessed it.
