Kelly Clarkson is “so excited” to take the stage before country icon Garth Brooks at Stagecoach in 2027.

Clarkson appeared on Late Night with Seth Meyers on Monday night (September 21). Throughout the conversation, she spoke about her powerful final Kellyoke performance on The Kelly Clarkson Show, the milestone 30th season of The Voice, what she remembers about late legend Dolly Parton, and more.

“I’m opening for Garth,” Clarkson beamed when Seth Meyers brought up Stagecoach. “If you would’ve told me at 10 years old that I’m opening a show for Garth Brooks, shut up. I’m so excited. And I know Trisha’s gonna be there, too, probably, and I love her.

When asked about preparing for the performance, Clarkson said she aims to “just be as bada** as you possibly could be because Garth Brooks is listening.”

“This is my first time performing at Stagecoach! I’ll be the one havin’ a good time! See y’all there!” Clarkson exclaimed in a statement when the 2027 lineup was announced. Brooks will headline the festival, along with Riley Green and Zach Top. Following the duo’s viral reunion, Florida Georgia Line will deliver a late-night set during Stagecoach. The leinup will also include HARDY, Willie Nelson & Family, Brothers Osborne, Shaboozey, DASHA, STELLA LEFTY, Stephen Wilson Jr, Journey, Pitbull, Carín León, Matchbox Twenty, Cameron Whitcomb and many other artists. Stagecoach returns April 23 through April 25, 2027
