Clarkson was speechless once the song came to an end. She was even caught saying, "what is happening?" during the performance.
Clarkson revealed she was nervous to hear Daniels sing, and was blown away by his song.

The moment is definitely worth a watch.
As expected, fans had a lot to say watching the interview moment.
Fans wrote, "Jeff Daniel’s is such a great country music name! You know when it’s a good song when you come away singing and humming it for a time. THAT WAS A BEAUTIFUL STORY OF LOVE. Record it, and get ready for the CMA’s - Best New Artist, New Song…. So charming and beautiful to listen to."
"Jeff is great! Anyone that was really paying attention to The Newsroom knows the man has real musical talent. Now get Hugh Laurie on and ask him for a song."
"That was such stunning writing and beautifully played. It should be released. He's an amazing artist with many artistic talents."

Jeff Daniels also spoke about A Man in Full during an interview alongside IndieWire. Daniels discussed what he's doing when he isn't acting. Writing songs and plays tends to be his go-to. Out in Michigan, Daniels also has his own theater company, Purple Rose Theatre Company.
The actor revealed, “It’s what keeps me going,” Daniels told IndieWire on Zoom.
“It keeps me alive. It’s what I’m supposed to do. It’s helped me between the phone calls for the acting jobs. Because you can go insane staring at that phone. They’ll call you when they need you. And so I’ve always battled whatever depression or fear might come of never working again by working on other things that don’t require Hollywood to need me.”
At the age of 69, Jeff Daniels clearly doesn't have to act, and has other passions outside of Hollywood. Though following his performance in A Man in Full, fans clearly want to see more of the actor.
