Kelly Clarkson Wishes She Wrote “Tin Man”

It’s not the first time Clarkson has taken on the song. She’s covered it before at shows and has talked about her love for the track.

“I love this song,” she says in a video from five years ago. “I love when I hear a song and I wish I had written it. It’s such a bummer when you’re like, ‘Damn, I could have done that.'”

“I sing a lot of Miranda Lambert songs because I think she’s a fantastic artist,” she adds.
