Both of Kelly Clarkson's children grabbed a piece of the spotlight on Friday (Aug. 18) during their mom's residency gig at Las Vegas' Planet Hollywood.
Clarkson teased the on-stage involvement of 7-year-old Remington "Remy" Alexander and 9-year-old River Rose earlier in the day through an Instagram story.
"Both of my kiddos backstage getting ready to join me on stage in Vegas," she wrote (as reported by People). "Nothing will ever be as cool and amazing as these two little humans that will always have my whole heart."
First, Remy took the stage to dance with his mom to a song of his choosing.
"He was like, 'There's going to be a lot of people,' and I was like, 'No, we have dances all the time at our house.' We dance, we pull a disco ball out and we just dance," Clarkson told the audience.
The parent-child pair danced along as Clarkson sang her 2017 hit "Whole Lotta Woman." The crowd dug it enough to break out a "Remy" chant as Clarkson said farewell onstage to her first of two special guests.

River and her mom scored headlines recently after it was revealed that their first in-studio duet,"You Can't Make Me Cry," will appear later this year on a deluxe expansion of Clarkson's breakup album Chemistry.
They previewed their duet chops, not with the new song but with Clarkson's 2015 track "Heartbeat Song."
In a sweet moment, Clarkson warned River not to sing "hell" and instead deliver the line "where the heck did you come from?"

Afterwards, River delighted her mom and the crowd by yelling "Thank you everyone" into the mic.
"Give it up for River Rose everybody," Clarkson said during her collaborator's exit from the stage. "You look gorgeous. You did amazing. I love you. I'll see you in a little bit."
