On Tuesday, Gwyneth Paltrow revealed that Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion's hit song, "WAP," was her go-to for when she is feeling down.
"Earlier we were talking about music, so I have to ask, what are some songs you go to when you're down?" Kelly Clarkson asked Paltrow in an interview on "The Kelly Clarkson Show."
Without hesitation, "The Politician" star replied, "Wet A– P—-," which had to be bleeped out on the show.
To her shock, Clarkson got up and turned her back to the actress, proceeding to laugh while saying, "Oh, my god. I'm done. I'm done."
Clarkson then said she felt she needed "to see the tape back because I feel like I was like, 'Oh, wait, what?'"
"God, you win for favorite guest this season," Clarkson continued. "No, that was amazing. I needed that in my soul."
The song "WAP" has caused some controversy over its explicitness, even sparking a feud on Twitter that led to apparent lawsuit threats between Cardi B and conservative pundit Candace Owens.
Despite the skepticism it's received, the song has enjoyed widespread success: it debuted at No. 1 on Billboard's Hot 100 chart after its release in August, it was performed by Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion at the Grammys earlier this month, and the music video has over 346 million views on YouTube.
Paltrow is just one of many celebrities who have embraced the chart-topper.
In November 2020, Clarkson interviewed Lisa Rinna on her show, in which she showed the audience a compilation of "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star dancing on TikTok.
"That was for the 'WAP' song. That's a whole thing that a friend of mine challenged me to do, but then I still look like a fool. It doesn't matter," Rinna said.
"Girl, you don't look like no fool. If I had that body, I'd be banging like that too," Clarkson replied.
Dua Lipa, Vanessa Hudgens, and Jason Derulo have also all participated in the "WAP" dance challenge on TikTok.
Lipa took to a dance studio to complete the challenge solo, and at the end of her TikTok video, she put a "Send Help" on the screen.

Hudgens, on the other hand, had a friend join her in her backyard to roll around and do splits on the grass.
And Derulo did not physically get down to the song, but his girlfriend, Jena Frumes, danced along in a video, in which he later entered and pretended to kick her into the pool.
