Kelly Clarkson's been missing from the stage for quite some time, but it's understandable why, she was pregnant! However, she's taken a break from maternity leave a time or two by appearing on a couple of stages, most recently in North Carolina this past weekend.

While performing at an event in North Carolina she introduced one of her songs by setting it up calling it a "bluesy and awesome" song and added, "Anybody like Sam Smith here? I love this song. I know you've probably heard it a bunch, but just bear with me, I love it. This is called 'Stay with Me.'"

Kelly then launched into a stripped down version of the song (which you can hear in the video above) where her vocals shined through and filled the venue.
