Kelly Clarkson ruled the early aughts with hit after hit and solidified herself as one of the most successful American Idol contestants in history — and as one of the most impressive vocalists in recent memory. In the years since, she’s also proven to be a huge music fan in her own right, taking on coaching duties for The Voice and sharing impressive covers of her favorite songs on her eponymous talk show. Despite her extensive knowledge of popular music, she recently revealed that doesn’t know any songs from another turn of the century pop icon, The Backstreet Boys — and, honestly, I’m trying my best to believe her. 

During a recent visit to The Tonight Show, the 41-year-old singer squared off against host Jimmy Fallon in a game of “Back That Track Up.” During the match, contestants have to race to guess which song is being played backwards. Over the course of the friendly competition, both stars were able to identify some classic hits, including “Hungry Like the Wolf” by Duran Duran and “Mr. Brightside” by The Killers. But both were completely stumped when “I Want It That Way” by the Backstreet Boys started playing, and Questlove eventually had to chime in to give the right answer. While Fallon caught on immediately, the “Breakaway” performer still seemed confused – and then she revealed a surprising anecdote about her childhood:
