Kelly Clarkson Is Hilarious Talking About Her Daughter's Celebrity Crush

Kelly Clarkson s daughter enjoys her famous moms music, but another singer has truly captured the little girls heart.

While appearing on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Tuesday, Clarkson dished about her 4-year-old daughter River Roses celebrity crush.

My daughter is obsessed currently ... with Chris Martin , the singer said. Shes in love with him.

The obsession apparently started one night at bedtime, which is when Clarkson usually sings to her.

She said, Sing a song about stars. I started singing Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star. She was like, Boring, the mom recounted. She said, Another song about stars. So the only one I could think of was, Look at the stars, look how they shine for you. So I started singing that, and now shes obsessed with it.

Since that night, River Rose has taken to watching the music video for Coldplays Yellow every night before bed.

When I say obsessed, I mean the boy from the video, not Chris Martin now, said Clarkson. She doesnt understand that hes not the boy in the Yellow video, like when he first came out years ago.

The singer did a hilarious impression of River Rose swooning as she watches the video. Its weird and scary foreshadowing ... Im like, You need to slow your roll! she said.

Shes going to be slightly disappointed if she ever meets him because hes older than the boy in the video, Clarkson joked. Did I just insult Chris Martin? Hes a very sexy man! I didnt mean to insult Chris Martin!

Clarkson tweeted about River Roses crush back in early August, so its clear hes made a lasting impression.

So my daughter wants to marry Chris Martin and is obsessed with his song Yellow. She wants to marry the boy in the video, which I have informed her he is not a boy anymore and has kids older than her but she will have none of it, she is determined #RiverRose #Yellow #Lello pic.twitter.com/6MvgeSSVoN

The singer also has a 2-year-old son and two adolescent stepchildren. During the interview, she said her kids like to have dance parties at home.

And although River Rose loves Chris Martin, it seems she only ever wants to dance to her mamas music.

Its kind of hard because I try and get my youngest daughter, like, to steer away from Kelly Clarkson music, but its, like, she doesnt know any other artists exist, said Clarkson. I, like, try and put on Prince, and shes like, No, Heartbeat Song. Im like, Really? I like it, too, but really? A little M.J., anything?
