Kelly Clarkson recently gushed about Snoop Dogg, recalling their first meeting years ago.

The duo, who are presenting the American Song Contest, spoke with Access Hollywood about their first impressions of each other at their first meeting at an award show.

“We didn’t actually talk. It was like us passing, because he said my name, and I was just like, ‘What!'” Clarkosn revisited.

The 50-year-old rapper added, “I called her name out, like, ‘Kelly Clarkson!’”

“Kelly Clarkson, it’s Snoop Dogg, what’s happening? I (expletive) with you’” he told the publication.

When ‘everyone wasn’t cool with’ Clarkson, the California Gurls hitmaker made her ‘feel good’ about herself.

“I thought I was cool, because he knew who I was,” Clarkson admitted.

Clarkson told Insider on March 14 that she is looking forward to joining the hip-hop sensation on the show.

“We both really love watching people nail it. We both really love supporting other artists, and he’s just fun to work with,” she said. “So I know we might seem like the odd couple, but we get along well.”
