It is reported, "True Colors" was written Billy Steinberg and Tom Kelly. In 1986 it spent two weeks at the top the Billboard Hot 100. The title track earned Lauper a Grammy nomination for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance.
This isn't the first time Clarkson has performed the hit for her fans. According to PEOPLE, Clarkson performed the song with Kelsea Ballerini during the final stop of her "Meaning Of Life Tour," in April.
During their conversation Lauper shocked Clarkson when she revealed that she was a fan of her song "Stronger (What Doesn’t Kill You)." Excited by the news, Clarkson responded:
"You know that song? I’m so cool right now!"
"I do. Whenever I was feeling really downtrodden, I would sing along with you," Lauper responded back to Clarkson.
Clarkson admits that she loves the fact that Lauper had heard her music. Reminding the "American Idol Alum" of her own star power, Lauper says:
"Are you kidding? It was a huge hit."
PEOPLE reports, after its success on music charts, Lauper later named her charity, True Colors Fund after the song.
The charity works together with government, volunteers and other organizations to help combat the rising number of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender youth who end up homeless.
