Just days after taking a crack at Sam Smith ‘s ” Stay with Me ,” the American Idol alum took the stage at Buffalo, N.Y., to pay homage to New York City’s newest Global Welcome Ambassador , Taylor Swift , with a gospel version of the songstress’ “Shake It Off.” So, what does she make of the cover? Just hours after video of the song surfaced online, Swift gushed about Clarkson’s version on her Twitter, writing: “Watching Kelly Clarkson SLAY “Shake It Off” is an excellent way to celebrate 26 HOURS TIL 1989!!!!!!”
