Jamie MacDonald Makes Her ‘Kelly Clarkson Show’ Debut

Jamie MacDonald made her national daytime TV debut this week, performing “Won’t Let Go” on The Kelly Clarkson Show.

“I still can’t believe this happened,” MacDonald shared on social media after the episode aired. “I’m so grateful and my heart is so full right now!”

MacDonald appeared on the April 13 episode of the show, where she performed the song from her self-titled debut album.

The appearance marks another big moment for MacDonald this year. In January, she released her self-titled debut album, and she was recently named to both Spotify’s 2026 Artists to Watch and Amazon Music’s 2026 Artists to Watch.

It’s major momentum for an artist who spent years wondering whether music could actually become a career. But as she told RELEVANT in 2025, she’s stepping into a new season — and it’s arriving fast.

“It’s fun, finally,” she told RELEVANT. “I’ve been through the valley. Now I’m ready to celebrate a little. This next season is joy.”
