Watch Kelly Clarkson and 'Stranger Things' Star Gaten Matarazzo Sing a Delightful Duet
In what must be one of the best celebrity hangout sessions of the year, Kelly Clarkson and Gaten Matarazzo (a.k.a. Dustin on Stranger Things) chilled out while singing in a golf cart, as you do. The occasion? The 2017 WE Day Toronto event, which Clarkson hosted and performed at. The clip itself is old—it’s been around since the event was filmed for its broadcast tonight (Saturday)—but it’s just now making the rounds as a way to promote the event.
Help promoting the broadcast comes in the form of the charasmatic Matarazzo, who, while chauffeuring Clarkson to WE Day in a golf cart, lends his pipes to a mashup of Sister Sledge’s “We Are Family” and Queen’s “We Are the Champions.” Watching it is like one of James Corden’s wonderful—and usually viral—Carpool Karaoke videos, but even more wonderful because Dustin Matarazzo is an amazing singer. (He did play Gavroche in Broadway’s Les Mis, after all.)
He’s also adorable, per the ensuing dialogue.
“Are you excited for WE Day?” he asks as he swings around to pick up Clarkson.
“I am excited,” she responds. “I am terrified. I’m nervous.”
“Nah, don’t be,” he replies, with all the confidence of a 15-year-old star. “You got this.”
From there, the banter switches to a few vocal warmups before the two break out into “We Are Family.”

If that doesn’t make the end of your long week feel all warm and fuzzy, I don’t know what will. If it’s not enough—and when are lighthearted duets between stars ever enough?—you can go back to the OG singing-in-moving-vehicles-on-television sensation. These Carpool Karaoke episodes of Victoria Beckham/Posh Spice singing Spices Girls tunes and Bruno Mars doing his funky thing are Internet treasures. Or, hey, get in the seasonal spirit with this little throwback of Selena Gomez, Demi Lovato, and Queen of Christmas Mariah Carey singing on a holiday-themed segment.
