When 10-year-old Ava Davis spotted Kelly Clarkson at a restaurant in Nashville, she worked up the courage to ask the singer to join her for a round of karaoke. Clarkson of course said yes because she’s a magical angel bursting with vocal talent and kindness.

They ended up going with a classic karaoke tune: “Love Shack” by the B-52’s. Ava’s mom, Angie, recorded the performance and told Yahoo! that Clarkson was “so gracious” and “very, very sweet.”

After the duet, Clarkson also signed a t-shirt for Ava and took a photo with her.
