The Rookie: Kelly Clarkson Goes BTS; S05E12 "Death Notice" Preview

ABC's The Rookie guest star Kelly Clarkson shared a sneak peek behind the scenes. Plus, we have a new preview for S05E12 "Death Notice."

When it comes to this week's episode of ABC's Nathan Fillion-starring The Rookie, social media has made it pretty clear that Chenford fans are all about the previews they've seen for what's ahead with Tim (Eric Winter) & Lucy (Melissa O'Neil). But there's another very cool reason to add to the many reasons to check out S05E12 "Death Notice," and that reason is named… Kelly Clarkson. The award-winning singer, talk show host & serious The Rookie fan will be appearing in tonight's episode, and now we're getting a sneak peek at what it was like for Clarkson behind the scenes (with more to follow tomorrow, we're sure).

Here's a look at the clip from Clarkson from her talk show, followed by a personal message via the ABC series' Twitter account and a quick look at Clarkson from tonight's episode:
