Fort Worth, Arkansas elementary school special ed teacher, Schaffer-Thomas, went viral back in August with her Janis-Joplin inspired rendition of "Superstition" by Stevie Wonder. Check out her awesome performance here

Fast forward four months later, and Clarkson decided to bring Schaffer-Thomas onstage with her for a Kellyoke version of the same epic song. During their performance, Schaffer-Thomas's raspy voice complemented Clarkson's soaring notes perfectly as they harmonized to the groovy beat. 

They both put their own unique interpretation on the upbeat tune. And of course, the crowd went wild the second the performance was over. 

"She didn't even know I was gonna be singing with her until like an hour ago," Clarkson revealed.

What to know about "Superstition" by Stevie Wonder

One of Wonder's biggest hits to date, "Superstition" was released off of Wonder's iconic 1972 album Talking Book, and won Grammy Awards for Best R&B Song and Best R&B Male Vocal Performance that year. 

In 2021, Rolling Stone listed it on the 12 position of its "500 Greatest Songs of All Time" list. According to the outlet, Wonder originally wrote the song for Jeff Beck, but the legendary producer Berry Gordy insisted Wonder record the song himself, and the rest is history.
