Kelly Clarkson's daughter, River, joined her daytime talk show for an epic "bring your daughter to work" day. The 10-year-old stepped in to shadow the show's producer, and she's certainly a natural.
The Kelly Clarkson Show shared clips from River's day on Instagram, and she wore a headset and carried a clipboard as she helped call the shots. Kelly said River had been to all of the meetings, and called her "very professional."
Guest Whitney Cummings said she asked River, "What's the thing that annoys your mom the most?" Kelly immediately responded, "Is it when she calls me 'Kelly'?" She stood up to glare at her daughter, who went into producer mode and instructed her, "Mommy should be on break." Kelly exclaimed, "I got a leader! She's going to rule the world one day, y'all."
Fans loved the appearance and left messages like, "She is so much her mother! It's great she gets these chances to see how the show runs! Great job Kelly" and "River is a little boss girl 😍🔥 Kelly’s love for her kiddos is so wholesome, she is a proud mama 😍❤️" Another wrote, "❤️Chip off the old block ❤️. Too cute and you can tell that they have a blast together and the love 💕"
Of course, more fans on Tik Tok jumped in to comment on how similar they look: "Oh my goodness she is a mini Kelly! Looks and personality to the max!! 😍🥹," one said. Another wrote, "Kelly she is definitely your twin😍🥰🥰🥰"
We hope River comes back to Kelly's show soon!
