Besides hosting, Clarkson sang multiple songs, including “You For Christmas.”

The song received great acclaim from the audience.

“That high note at the end gave me goosebumps,” commented one person onYouTube.

Others echoed this enthusiasm and noted Clarkson’s abilities were even more impressive in the super-chilly weather.

This poodle-esque conclusion came up a few times on the platform.

In addition, after Clarkson posted footage of the event onInstagram, one fan complimented her weather-appropriate gear.

“Girl, that coat is what I needed to be warm in NYC.

Send it my way.”

For some fans, however, the real issue was the style itself rather than the coat’s materials.

Even so, Clarkson makes the final call on the outfits.

“It was magical.”
