Kelly’s Quarantine Hideout

Kelly recorded the video in her bathroom, which she humorously referred to as her hideout during these unprecedented times. She captioned the clip, “Hiding in Montana. That time [you’re] quarantined, [your] kids [are] sleeping so [you’re] stuck in a bathroom and [your] glam squad’s nowhere in sight.” It’s a relatable sentiment for so many of us who are adjusting to life under quarantine.

Mariah Carey’s Reaction

When Mariah Carey saw the video, she couldn’t contain her excitement. The legendary singer commented, “Beautiful rendition!!!” followed by a heart emoji. She also acknowledged Kelly’s busy schedule, writing, “I know you’re usually working 30 hours a day, 8 days a week, so this must be quite an adjustment for you (as it is for us all!) Keep the videos coming!! Do, ‘Whenever You Call’ next.” It’s always heartwarming to see artists supporting each other like this.

Family Time in Self-Isolation

Kelly took a moment at the beginning of the video to share that she and her family are in self-isolation. She and her husband Brandon Blackstock are raising two adorable kids, River, 5, and Remington, 3, while also blending their family with Brandon’s children from a previous relationship, Savannah and Seth. “We came here because we knew we’d have some time off since all this crazy stuff is happening,” she explained, referring to the global pandemic.
