Ben Platt joined Kelly Clarkson for a duet of Bob Dylans 1997 track Make You Feel My Love on The Kelly Clarkson Show. The pair took on an original arrangement of the song, which comes off Dylans album Time Out of Mind, and the performance marked the first time the pair have sung together.
In the clip, Clarkson kicks things off with the opening lines while Platt follows on the second verse. Both give the track an emotional performance, transforming the folk rock number into an epic Broadway ballad. Platt also sat down with Clarkson to discuss their love of Meryl Streep and how the actress came to see Platt performing in Dear Evan Hansen on Broadway.
