Kelly Clarkson was in The Pitt … sort of. In a Tuesday (May 11) appearance of The Kelly Clarkson Show, Isa Briones — who stars on the hit HBO medical drama — told the singer and talk-show host about what she does while she is in the background of the hospital drama. Briones has come up with a special trick to make it look like her character, Dr. Trinity Santos, is actually working in those moments.
“I really want to look like I am really writing something,” Briones said, explaining that in the most recent season of the show, the hospital’s computers are shut down and all of the doctors and nurses need to do all of their charting by hand. “So at a certain point I was like, ‘What if I just write full song lyrics?'”
The first song that Briones decided to write out was one she knew very well.
“And I started with ‘Since U Been Gone,'” she told Clarkson of the American Idol alum’s Billboard Hot 100 No. 2 hit.
“Which I LOVE,” Clarkson responded enthusiastically. “Inadvertently, this is me making it into The Pitt. This is my spotlight moment.”
Briones shared that she picked the 2004 track because it’s something she knew by heart. “Since U Been Gone” is not the only Clarkson song that Briones brought to The Pitt‘s set.
“And then I turn it into a dissertation about your song ‘Breakaway,'” Briones continued. “In the thing, I literally am like, ‘It went on to be in Princess Diaries 2: A Royal Engagement, (a perfect movie.)'”
Clarkson followed up by saying that she loves how Briones, while writing out song lyrics, also included medication prescription dosages.
“Which I somehow want to fit it with the BGVs on tour,” Clarkson joked. “Thanks to you I get 200 ccs, get what I want 50 ccs.”
