According to the poster, before the duet, Kelly told the audience that River Rose had asked to sing that night.
“This is so cute as she dedicated this song to River Rose when it first came out,” a fan noted.
“LIKE mom, LIKE daughter, THE SMILE, THE HAIR, OBVIOUSLY THE HEART, THE BOUNCE JUMP. RIVER ROSE HAS CONFIDENCE ON STAGE,” wrote another.
