Kelly Clarkson’s fans compare her to Mariah Carey in lead up to new Christmas track

Kelly Clarkson, a vocal powerhouse known for her ability to make any song her own, has ventured into holiday music before.

But this time, fans believe her new track, 'You For Christmas', might just have what it takes to rival Carey’s iconic holiday anthem, 'All I Want for Christmas Is You'.

The speculation has only intensified online as Clarkson shared details about the track's release and teased fans with the hashtag "#ChristmasInSeptember."

Social media reactions exploded after Clarkson made her announcement, with fans suggesting she’s ready to take the holiday crown from Carey.

"Christmas in September? 👀 …..okay🎅🏼 My new holiday single 'You For Christmas' is out this Friday, September 27!" Clarkson wrote on Instagram.

One person remarked, "Kelly Clarkson is taking over the title of the queen of Christmas year by year. Sorry @mariahcarey." Another said, "QUEEN OF CHRISTMAS."

"Clarkson is the Mariah Carey of this generation and no one can argue about that," wrote one person. Another added, "Step aside Mariah because Kelly is coming with a new Christmas banger."

Kelly Clarkson’s new song is a collaboration with Mark Ronson and Andrew Wyatt

This isn’t Kelly Clarkson’s first foray into holiday music. Her first Christmas album 'Wrapped in Red', released in 2013, included fan-favorite tracks like 'Underneath the Tree', which quickly became a holiday staple.

However, it’s her latest collaboration that has fans particularly excited.

Clarkson’s new song, 'You For Christmas', is a collaboration with hitmakers Mark Ronson and Andrew Wyatt.

Ronson, known for producing chart-toppers like 'Uptown Funk' with Bruno Mars, has been a powerhouse in the music industry. Wyatt, who worked with Ronson on the 'Barbie' soundtrack, is another talented addition to the team.

In addition to her own single, Clarkson has already made headlines this holiday season by teaming up with country singer Brett Eldredge for a duet, 'Sweet December'.

The song marks their second holiday collaboration, following 2021’s 'Under the Mistletoe', which was well-received by fans of both artists.

Clarkson’s holiday spirit shone last December when she performed Cher’s 'DJ Play a Christmas Song' on her daytime talk show, 'The Kelly Clarkson Show'.

The cover quickly caught the attention of the music legend herself, who took to X to praise Clarkson’s rendition.

Cher gushed, "KELLY,,,,U ACED IT. U GOT THE GIRL VERSION OF MY VOICE. Babe, I AM OUT OF MY MIND OVER UR VERSION.. THE MODULATION GAVE ME …I DONT KNOW, I JUST LOST MY MIND. SISTER U GOT IT."
