Kelly Clarkson will be pulling double-duty at the 2018 Billboard Music Awards.
The original “American Idol,” current “The Voice” coach and vocal powerhouse will be hosting the annual chart-driven awards show.
She will also take the stage for a performance, appearing as part of a bill that also includes names like Janet Jackson, Ed Sheeran, Christina Aguilera, Demi Lovato, Camila Cabello, Pharrell, Normani, Khalid, Shawn Mendes and Maren Morris.
Given those responsibilities, Clarkson naturally took the stage as part of an official rehearsal session.
The show begins at 8PM ET on NBC. Ahead of the broadcast, the network shared photos from the rehearsal.
