Snowboarder Chloe Kim, an Olympic gold medalist, was utterly embarrassed after praising Pink for the song “Stronger (What Doesn’t Kill You),” unaware that the track actually belongs to Kelly Clarkson.
For those who may not know, Pink is serving as guest host for The Kelly Clarkson Show this week in honor of Women’s History Month, and Chloe, the 25-year-old snowboarder, appeared as a guest on the recent episode.

During their chat, Chloe expressed her deep admiration for Pink, stating: “Can I admit something? When I was around 12 or 13, I used to love listening to your songs while snowboarding.”
“Awh,” Pink responded. However, as Chloe began singing, “What doesn’t kill you makes you…” Pink’s expression changed, and she humorously interjected, “That’s Kelly Clarkson,” before erupting in laughter.
