Olympic gold medalist Chloe Kim’s sweet shoutout to P!nk comes with one big mistake

Chloe Kim told P!nk she loves ‘Stronger’ while guesting on Kelly Clarkson’s show but it’s actually Kelly’s hit

Olympic gold medalist Chloe Kim had a wholesome fangirl moment that quickly turned into an awkward mix up during a recent appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show.

With Kelly Clarkson absent, the episode was guest hosted by P!nk, who stepped in to lead the conversation. During their chat, Kim enthusiastically told P!nk how much she loves the song ‘Stronger’, praising it as one of her favourite motivational anthems.

There was just one small problem. ‘Stronger What Doesn’t Kill You’ is not a P!nk track. It is one of Kelly Clarkson’s biggest hits.

The moment, which was delivered sincerely and without hesitation, immediately caught viewers’ attention. While P!nk handled the comment graciously, smiling through the exchange, fans online were quick to point out the mix up. Clips of the interview began circulating across social media, with users joking that Clarkson might have something to say about the accidental credit switch.

‘Stronger What Doesn’t Kill You’ was released by Clarkson in 2011 and became one of the defining pop empowerment songs of the decade. The track topped charts worldwide and remains closely associated with Clarkson’s career. P!nk, meanwhile, has her own catalogue of powerful anthems, including hits like ‘So What’ and ‘Just Give Me a Reason’, which may have contributed to the confusion given their shared pop rock energy.

Despite the slip, many viewers found the moment endearing rather than embarrassing. “It was such a genuine compliment,” one fan wrote online. “Wrong artist, right vibe.” Others noted that both Clarkson and P!nk have built careers around high energy, resilience themed music, making the confusion understandable in the moment.

Neither Clarkson nor P!nk publicly addressed the mix up after the episode aired, but the light hearted blunder has already joined the long list of memorable daytime TV moments.
