I love Kelly Clarkson even though I’m not a fan of country music. She’s outspoken, she’s honest, she’s relatable, she’s warm and she’s immensely talented. At least two of these qualities were obvious at last night’s big country awards show.

Kelly was just one of the many performers at the 2013 Academy of Country Music Awards but she was definitely my favorite.

Looking happy and more relaxed than ever, she wowed with a gorgeous rendition of “Don’t Rush,” which you can see in full above.

Another thing I like about Kelly (besides her killer smile) is that, as a musician, she rarely needs more than just the band and a microphone to put on an impeccable show.

Not too many artists of today can boast of that, honestly.

Without further ado, enjoy!
