The singer and talk show host surprised people at an outdoor shopping center and a coffee shop in Los Angeles with songs off her new album 'Chemistry.'

Kelly Clarkson has a new album coming out—Chemistry—and she came up with a great way to bring attention to it.

Flash mobs.


The singer along with the Los Angeles based choir Tonality made the rounds recently in Los Angeles, California serenading diners.

The singer then posted videos of the flash mobs to her Instagram.

In one, Clarkson serenaded a Blue Bottle Coffee Shop crowd, along with the choir, finishing by ordering a latte with a smile.

Clarkson was at the register, the rest of the choir on the balcony upstairs.

She also brought the choir and her new songs to an outside cafe at a shopping mall and sang for diners there.

"This was so fun, y'all!"


People imagined what it would be like if they were dining, or in a cafe, and Clarkson came in and started singing.

Gavin Newsom Expertly Trolls Trump Administration With Parody Spirit Halloween Costume Memes

California Governor Gavin Newsom had social media users cackling after he, in a series of photos on X, mocked Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. with photoshopped meme versions of Spirit Halloween costumes.

Noem, who has led the nationwide immigration crackdown that continues to tear apart families around the country, is the "Border Barbie" of one meme that pokes fun at her for shooting her dog, her penchant for bringing camera crews wherever she goes, and the way South Park writers lampooned her in one of its most widely-seen episodes this year.
