“Yeah, how much views did I get again?” Remy cheekily replied, prompting Clarkson and the studio audience to burst into laughter.

“I’m gonna tell you how it went down," recounted Clarkson to the audience. “I said, ‘Man, buddy, you’ve got over a million views on that I think.’”

“He goes, ‘Do you get that many views?’ ” she continued. “I was like, ‘Calm down — and not often.’”

The November clip wasn’t the first time young Remy performed with his mom: Back in August 2023, when he was only 7, the Grammy winnerwelcomed him on stageduring a concert date at Vegas’ Planet Hollywood to dance backup as she sang her 2017 song “Whole Lotta Woman.”

“Give it up for Remy B!” Clarkson yelled to the audience after they concluded the performance and as the crowd began to chant Remy’s name. Her daughter River came out later in the show for a duet of “Heartbeat Song” as well.

Catching up with PEOPLE last year for her cover story, the starrevealed that the surprise appearances were her children’s suggestion: “They were a little nervous, but it was their idea, not mine.”

“I was like, ‘I feel like how you’re looking at me is how you watch Spider-Man,’ ” Clarkson told PEOPLE, describing how it felt to have her kids watching her perform. “It caught me completely off guard, and it was the most magical moment because they were so happy and at ease. They were just in awe."
