As seen in a video shared on Twitter, Clarkson brought her A-game in Bette’s character Winifred Sanderson’s iconic purple gown matched with a green embroidered cloak.

Her hair, however, was the highlight as “The Voice” coach rocked a dramatic, gigantic, bright red hair and matching red lipstick. Clarkson was not alone as she had her two backup singers dressed in matching witch outfits.

While giving her rendition of her song, Clarkson walked among the cheering crowd and ended with a bang staring intensely at the camera.
