Dan Reynolds Credits Kelly Clarkson For Imagine Dragons' Existence

"I don't think Imagine Dragons actually would be a thing if it weren't for you." In the early days of the band, Dan Reynolds reveals Imagine Dragons got to open for Kelly Clarkson after winning a “Utah’s Got Talent” competition. Dan credits that show and Kelly for helping Imagine Dragons kick off their career. Dan also dishes on singing a cappella, and being upstaged by a NASA dad, at his daughter's school career day.

I love it when artists come on and thank her or give her props. She’s so humble it’s hard to compliment her.

imagine dragons is literally one of the best bands ever

[@Roberto-dw5jz]

If you say Imagine Dragons from Smoke & Mirror and Night Vision Era is the best Rock bands, then you're right. If you say Current Imagine Dragons is the best rock band, then you're wrong

Its hard for people to imagine that someone with so much charisma could be an introvert, but it will surprise you how well spoken many of us are even though we struggle socially.

[@litcigarettereviews]

I wish he would’ve stayed an introvert and not started this heinous monstrosity of a ‘band’

[@albertho19]

I feel so identified with Dan, I also suffer from anxieties and I am usually introverted, it is something I work on so as not to feel fear,They are my meaning to life, I love this band

[@mommabearr18]

I could've watched this interview for hours. I absolutely love imagine dragon. Kelly is right, that band definitely has allot of upbeat music to workout with. I never would have guessed Dan was an introvert. I really feel bad for people who struggle with that on a daily basis.

[@melonies.7641]

I'm an introvert as well and I can tell you that I love it lol. Most of us introverts are extroverted in certain situations or scenarios, but are mainly introverted in daily life. We literally need quiet time to recharge and enjoy alone time or intimate one on one connections with only a few people. We don't have casual friendships. We may know many people or have many acquaintances, but only a small few will be friends. While all of this may sound boring or miserable if you are an extrovert, it's heaven to us. It's what makes us function and feel peaceful. So, you don't have to feel bad for us.

[@cuddles4283]

Imagine Dragons has been my daughters favorite band for the last 2 years - she's 6. She loves all of their music, it's really cool to see :)

[@javielgonzalez2814]

I've only listened to them. I had no idea what the singer looked like. Oh my!!!!! 😍

Dan singing shirtless in front of thousands of people while being on tour. Also Dan: I'm an introvert

[@jd7348]

HAHA

[@natashacoda4354]

Honestly it’s possible. I’m an introvert with a customer focused job. While at work, I take on a different persona which is friendly and outgoing. However, outside of work, I’m a complete introvert. In fact, putting up that persona can greatly exhaust me.

[@iwannabetheunknown]

I think he literally has said when he gets on stage he becomes happy and joyfully..we can do better on things which we r passionate about 😁

[@kaoutermouslimhaliba7145]

@@flyby4475 I remember Michael Jackson said that to an interviewer once. That he would be more anxious about his interview with her than going on stage and perform in front of 50.000 people.True.

Why do you think introvert = social recluse? Lol

[@nwskea4133]

Imagine Dragons is my favorite band. I was at their concert in Poland one week ago. It was an amazing experience! I could listen to Dan all day ❤️

[@jonshields5649]

I figured Dan was an introvert. Don't care to label people but yeah, those slower Imagine Dragons and more serious interviews of his really show that reserved side of him.

[@TeeNakii]

Beautiful story Dan

[@karriburkhart4367]

I went to an Imagine Dragons concert 4 years ago, it was AMAZING! Dan was shirtless of course, and seemed very comfortable in his skin. During one of his songs, he came up the stairs by where we were sitting, and I touched his arm!! 🤩🥰 Very muscular!! 💪🏼

Guys...Introversion is not shyness. There are tons of social introverts. Introversion is the way your body responds to stimuli and recharges.

[@Nat-th9oz]

okay literally thank you...I'm going to stop saying I'm shy. I'm an introvert and social.
