"Cant believe @kellyclarkson just photobombed our silly family kickline 💀💀," Cohen wrote on the video.
"I didn’t see what y’all were doing until it was too late ha! My bad 🤦♀️😂💁🏼♀️," Clarkson commented.
It was certainly a lovely surprise! Catch the moment here.

Speaking of Meyers, Clarkson gushed about her family's experience in The Big Apple when she appeared on his show in October.

"It keeps you busy. There's so many things to do all the time," she added.

Then, in an interview with USA Today, Clarkson talked about why she chose to make the change in the first place.
“I knew I needed a fresh start and couldn’t be in LA. I really wanted to be in Montana, but you can’t really do a show from there quite yet," she told the outlet. "So I was like, ‘The only other option would probably be New York.'"
She also discussed how The Kelly Clarkson Show is taking advantage of its new opportunities.
“We’re definitely going to be on the streets and doing different things that we weren’t capable of in LA because it’s so spread out," she explained. "People that watch daytime television want to laugh and cry at a beautiful performance. They want to be inspired."
