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.

It's already scary to witness a younger person go through a life-changing medical diagnosis, but it's especially jarring to see a medical professional, who presumably knows best about how to care for themselves, go through the same.

Sandra Lee, known as "Dr. Pimple Popper" on Lifetime, is well-known for her bedside manner, medical knowledge and ability to share her knowledge in an accessible way, and, of course, her unique approach to dermatological care.

Rob Schneider Dragged For Criticizing Elizabeth Banks' 'Dangerous Rhetoric' After She Called Out White Female Trump Voters

After actor and filmmaker Elizabeth Banks—who played Effie Trinket in The Hunger Games—called out white women who voted for President Donald Trump, MAGA actor Rob Schneider lashed out against what he referred to as her "dangerous rhetoric."

Those who've read the book and seen the film adaptation of The Hunger Games know that Trinket—known for joyfully announcing, "Happy Hunger Games and the odds may be ever in your favor!"—is a mistress of propaganda for a hostile government that forces teenagers to fight to the death every year to intimidate critics and keep society's poorest and most vulnerable in line. Trinket eventually embraces the rebellion.

Trump's Border Czar Ripped For Hypocrisy After Telling Pope Leo To 'Stay Out Of Politics'

President Donald Trump's border czar Tom Homan was called out for hypocrisy after telling Pope Leo XIV to "stay out of politics" after he clashed with Trump over the widely unpopular war in Iran.

Last week, Pope Leo criticized the war and called on the world "to reject war, especially a war which many people have said is an unjust war, which is continuing to escalate and is not resolving anything."
