MacKenzie Porter Makes Her Solo TV Debut on The Kelly Clarkson Show

Surrounded by flowers and plants and backed by a six-piece band, the Canadian country rising star performed the ballad 'Pay Me Back In Change' from her new sophomore album, 'Nobody's Born With a Broken Heart.'

Canadian singer MacKenzie Porter made her solo TV debut this week, bringing Albertan country music to The Kelly Clarkson Show. (She previously duetted as a featured artist with Dustin Lynch onGood Morning America.)

The rising star performed the broken-hearted ballad "Pay Me Back In Change" in a lush gazebo setting, surrounded by plants and flowers, as well as a six-piece band. The performance shows off her pristine voice, as Porter urges a lover to make good on his debts. "I'm so damn broke on love / you better cough it up," Porter sings, accompanied by a tasteful countermelody on the violin.
