"Some equate listening to a Taylor Swift song to a religious experience, but on Saturday, Oct. 25, Kelly Clarkson took it a step further. The American Idol alum, 32, tackled a gospel cover of the chart-topping Swift single &amp;quot;Shake It Off&amp;quot; in Buffalo, N.Y.&amp;#xA0;\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;This is a church song, this is a soulful song. This is one of my favorite songs out right now,&amp;quot; Clarkson teased.&amp;#xA0;\r\nThe new mom began the the up-tempo pop tune with a slowed-down, jazzy intro before transitioning into the familiar beat. Turns out, 24-year-old Swift has no problem with Clarkson&amp;apos;s version. In fact, she&amp;apos;s a big fan.&amp;#xA0;\r\n\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;Watching Kelly Clarkson SLAY &amp;quot;Shake It Off&amp;quot; is an excellent way to celebrate 26 HOURS TIL 1989!!!!!! #TS1989,&amp;quot; she tweeted on Oct. 25.&amp;#xA0;\r\n\r\nClarkson quickly replied, &amp;quot;@taylorswift13 Love this song! Hope you like our gospel beginning ha! We had fun with it! Congrats on the new album coming out girl!&amp;quot;\r\nTaylor Swift&amp;apos;s fifth studio album, 1989, will be released on Monday, Oct. 27.&amp;#xA0;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
