The nostalgic hit is off of Springsteen's classic Born in the U.S.A. album.
The track was The Emotions' sole Hot 100 No. 1 hit.
"This album is definitely the arc of an entire relationship," the superstar singer said.
The group also performed their sparkling new single, "Moonlight Sunrise."
The track is featured on Kennedy's 2022 album, Sonder.
The track is the band's sole Billboard Hot 100 No. 1.
Yarbrough's most famous track was sampled in Fatboy Slim's 1999 crossover hit "Praise You."
The anthem topped Billboard's Dance Club Songs chart for two weeks in 1991.
The track -- which tells the story of an on-off couple who simply can't stay away from each other -- peaked at No. 28 on the Hot 100.
Clarkson injects the "Honey Bee" Kellyoke cover with an appropriate country twang.
