Rodeo Houston is in full swing, which means the content coming out of their nightly concert is overflowing. This year’s rodeo featured a stacked lineup of performers, including Megan Moroney, Riley Green, Chris Stapleton, Cody Johnson, the Red Clay Strays, and more. During last night’s rodeo performance, the Texas native Kelly Clarkson hit the stage and paid some homage to her country roots during her setlist. Over the years of hosting her daytime talk show, The Kelly Clarkson Show, she’s covered numerous country hits during her Kellyoke segment—and at times, she’s covered the song better than the original performer. She’s nailed renditions of songs like “Tennessee Whiskey” and “Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain,” and this week, she did a jaw-dropping cover of The Red Clay Strays song “No One Else Like Me,” which was included on their 2024 breakout album, Made by These Moments. During her Rodeo Houston setlist, she paid some homage to the trailblazers of country music and laid down a stellar cover from another Texas native. Kelly Clarkson brought some Tanya Tucker to the stage, laying down a stellar cover of her hit song “It’s A Little Too Late.” The song was penned by Roger Murrah and Pat Terry, and recorded and released by Tucker in 1993 as the second single from her record, Can’t Run from Yourself. The tune was a massive hit for the Seminole, TX native, landing at number 2 on the Hot Country Songs chart, coming in right behind George Strait’s “Heartland.” The tune is a classic heartbreaker about stubborn temptation, yet knowing that it’s too late to change the course of action. The narrator is up late at night thinking about being with a former lover, but knows that it will likely never happen again. “Well I was up all night well wonderin’ what to doThinkin’ that I oughta just forget about youBut it’s a little too lateWell it’s a little too lateWhen you walked in I shoulda walked outWell it’s a little too late to do the right thing now” Kelly Clarkson blew her cover of the tune out of the water and embraced her Texas roots on stage by sporting a sparkly bell-bottom jumpsuit. Kelly Clarkson is one of those artists whose songs you wonder if she can’t cover, but we have yet to find an example. Rodeo Houston got pure country gold with this performance.

The only thing that you should throw onstage at Riley Green is your bra… but this is just ridiculous. Last night, Riley had quite an eventful show while playing at Margaret Court Arena in Melbourne, Australia. He’s currently on a run in Australia playing several shows in Sydney and Melbourne as part of his Cowboy As It Gets Tour, and during a performance of “I Wish Grandpas Never Died,” some unruly fan decided it was a good idea to chuck their phone onstage, which ended hitting Riley on the side of his face, and blood quickly started running down his neck. Immediately, Riley stopped the show and had his crew turn the house lights up, and after quickly identifying the fan that threw it, Riley threw him out and told security to get “his fat a** out of here”: “This one right here? Get his fat a** out of here. Go on.” I’ve never really heard Riley talk like that, especially in front of a crowd of thousands of fans, but he was rightfully upset and the man was promptly escorted out by security: View this post on Instagram The full video posted by a fan who attended the show gives more context, as you see Riley continue talking without even realizing he’s bleeding. A member of his crew walks up to him with a towel and starts wiping the blood of his neck, and Riley joked that he’s glad the fan didn’t throw an “iPhone 12” because “that would have really hurt.” He also joked the Australian crowd could see “how tough he is” because he didn’t even know he was bleeding… and he also asked them to get their phones out and turn the flashlights on for the rest of the song, but asked them not to throw them at him: “I’d like to take a moment while I’ve got everybody’s attention to thank each and every one of you for coming out tonight. Hang on, am I bleeding? Y’all see how tough I am? Thank god h didn’t have an iPhone 12, that would have really hurt. I was gonna get y’all to sing this song one time, y’all want to try it? Do me a favor right here, get your phones out, and you can turn the flashlight on, just don’t throw it at me.” You can see someone from his team come and wipe the blood off of his ear and neck, though all in all, Riley didn’t seem too phased by the whole ordeal: View this post on Instagram It’s nothing new to see an artist get something thrown at them onstage, and it really is dangerous and this is a great example of why… I don’t know why that even needs to be explained, but it’s not unique to the Australian crows. It’s happened a ton here in the states over the last several years, and I will never understand why people desire to do something like that. It’s not fun for anyone, and as you can see, tehre’s a lot of potesntual for vn artist to actually get hurt. Obviously Riley was fine, but still… here’s another reminder to stop throwing stuff at artists and just let everyone safely enjoy the show. Riley shared pictures from the show on Instagram where you can see the blood on his neck in some of them, and I really don’t think he’s the one to mess with, guys… View this post on Instagram Riley Green 2026 Tour Dates: March 13th, 2026 – Melbourne, Australia – Margaret Court Arena^+= March 14th, 2026 – Melbourne, Australia^+= March 16th, 2026 – Sydney, Australia – The Hordern Pavilion^+= March 17th, 2026 – Sydney, Australia – The Hordern Pavilion^+= March 20th, 2026 – Ipswich, Australia – CMC Rocks QLD^+= April 11th, 2026 – Fort Lauderdale, FL – Tortuga Music Festival April 16th, 2026 – Southaven, MS – Landers Center#~$ April 17th, 2026 – Louisville, KY – KFC Yum!
