"We just have to find the right song. We've definitely talked about it in the past, so it's not in the works, but it's a high possibility," the former Disney Channel star said. "It's just like, finding the right song that the both of us can belt on would be dope." While the pair hasn't gotten in the studio together, they teamed up at Z100's Jingle Ball in 2011 for a duet performance of "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas," which Clarkson later recorded for her 2013 holiday album, Wrapped in Red.

Santiago Felipe/Getty Images "I love how open you are about mental health because I have similar issues, and I've suffered from depression," said Clarkson at the time. "I think a lot of people, especially in the creative world or just from childhood, you've been trained to just keep going and you can handle it." The Grammy winner added, "Especially as a woman, it's like, 'Don't let them see you sweat.' I just love that you're open about that because not everybody's as vulnerable being like that. And I think it's helpful for your fans." Appreciating her comments, Lovato replied, "You were like the first idol that I ever had. I wouldn't be the artist or even the person that I am with being so outspoken and vulnerable and fearless if I hadn't had you to look up to, so I thank you for that." The "Skyscraper" performer added, "I looked at you as my idol growing up. You are fearless and courageous and real as f---, you know? I love that about you. When I was younger I always thought to myself, 'If I ever make it, I want to be like her because she's real and she's genuine.'"
