Olympic gold medalist Chloe Kim sat down with guest host Pink on *The Kelly Clarkson* *Show* and showered the singer with compliments.

Except Kim praised the wrong pop star. The snowboarder, who won silver in halfpipe at the 2026 Winter Olympics, shared her love for "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)" by Kelly Clarkson. She misattributed the song to Pink.

"Can I make a confession?" Kim told Pink. "Growing up, when I was like 12, 13, I loved listening to your music when I would snowboard. Like, 'What doesn't kill you makes you...'"

"That's Kelly Clarkson," Pink interjected.

Kim apologized, but the "So What" singer took the mistaken identity in stride. Pink joked that the mix-up was fine because "I'm Kelly Clarkson," referencing the fact that she was filling in for the *American Idol *winner for the week.

"Oh my gosh, no, 'F-----' Perfect,'" Kim said, correcting her song choice. "Wait, guys. I'm so embarrassed. I'm so sorry."

The athlete blamed her brain fart on the nap she took before the show. Pink assured her there were no hard feelings, shifting gears to Kim's own musical aspirations. The two-time Olympic champ had expressed interest in recording songs after appearing on *The Masked Singer**.*

"I was really into that idea when I was on 'cause I was in that mode," Kim explained. "But now I'm kind of like, that sounds like a lot of work. I don't know how you guys do it."

Pink agreed that the demands of pop stardom were a lot. Kim said wants to take it easy for the next few years. Alas, a music career conflicts with that much-needed relaxation time.

"You've earned it," Pink said.

During Pink's week as guest host, she is interviewing female guests and celebrating their achievements in honor of Women's History Month. Her episodes will include performances, discussions with women in entertainment, and spotlights on people who are positively changing their communities. She is one of several guest hosts who will take over the show throughout the season.

"I've played stadiums and danced on the side of buildings, but stepping in to guest host for my girl Kelly Clarkson is a brand new feat," Pink said in a statement last month. "Let's celebrate women, joy, resilience and whatever else comes our way!"

*The Kelly Clarkson Show* will end after this current season. The "Since U Been Gone" singer shared that she wanted to spend more time with her children following the death of their father and her ex-husband Brandon Blackstock. Clarkson opened up about her decision to sunset her talk show in an interview with *Today* last month.

"Well, I think everybody probably gets the timing, but… yeah, our family life, the dynamic changed a bit and it has changed for a minute now," she said. "I think it's just — you've got kids, we've all got kids, right? — it's one of those things when you kinda start seeing life as how precious it is, too."
