Kelly Clarkson helps gay couple tie the knot during New Year's Eve concert
Imagine having your marriage witnessed by none other than Kelly Clarkson herself in her concert.
The American singer-songwriter touched the hearts of many after she helped two men become officially Mr. & Mr. during her Las Vegas residency on New Year’s Eve.
In a video captured by an audience member, the loving couple, identified to be Brian Artzt and Marcello Cialini, approached Kelly during her show in hopes of having her as a witness to their marriage. They shared that they have been together for 15 years now.
"Oh, it is tonight! With me," the singer shouted with much excitement at the couple's request.
Kelly then handed the microphone to a man whom Brian and Marcello brought as their officiant, who then proceeded with the wedding, "We gather here today to celebrate with two lovely gentlemen who want to claim their love tonight forever."
Kelly plastered a big smile on her face as the officiate asked the couple to affirm their love for each other, before declaring, "By the power of Kelly Clarkson’s show, Las Vegas, New Year’s 2024, I pronounce you both husband and husband."
After sharing a tight embrace with the couple as the crowd cheered, Kelly could be seen making her way towards the officiant's mother and enthusiastically saying, "Look what your baby just did!"
The singer then resumed performing for her residency show, which was in promotion of her newest album Chemistry that was released in June last year.
Speaking to The Post, Brian told the outlet that “it still doesn’t feel real.”
"The shock is very much still in both of us," he continued.
The couple said they have loved Kelly ever since they saw her on American Idol and she was all they ever talked about on their first meeting.
"She was basically all we talked about. We barely got to know each other that night," Brian added, admitting that they "had tried many times at previous concerts to get her attention." This time, they handed Kelly a shirt that said: "Kelly, will you be the witness at our Vegas wedding?"
Kelly has long been known to be an ally to the LGBTQ+ community. She previously wrote a love letter towards them that was published on Billboard, where she stressed: "It should be a no-brainer to lift, and support everyone, in every community, and encourage people rather than fear or judge what is different from themselves."
