Last night, Kelly Clarkson was a guest judge and performer on American Idol's Top 10 episode, and she showed everyone exactly why she won the show 14 years ago.

Kelly performed her song "Piece by Piece," which she wrote when she was pregnant with her first child, River.
The song is about her father leaving her family when she was only a child, and how she is very lucky to have found such a good husband and father in Brandon Blackstock.
It was raw and emotional and had basically everyone in the room in tears, including the contestants and judges.
