Kelly Clarkson Talks About Ending Her Daytime Talk Show and Returning to 'The Voice
Kelly Clarkson recently announced the end of her daytime talk show after seven seasons, citing changes in her family dynamic and a busy schedule as reasons for the decision. As she prepares to return as a coach on Season 29 of "The Voice," Clarkson discussed the timing of her talk show's closure with fellow coach John Legend on TODAY. Despite the success of the show and her close relationship with the staff, Clarkson felt it was time to step back due to her other commitments and family priorities.
As a mother to two children, River Rose and Remy, Clarkson emphasized the importance of balancing her professional and personal life. She acknowledged the difficulty of the decision, especially considering the show's success and the support of the crew. However, Clarkson felt that it was the right choice for her as a mother, even though it was a challenging transition.
Looking ahead to Season 29 of "The Voice," Clarkson and Legend teased the upcoming Battle of Champions, where past winners will compete against each other. Clarkson, a four-time winning coach on the show, expressed her excitement for the new season and the return of Blind Auditions, a segment she enjoys for its element of surprise and competition. The new season premieres on Feb. 23 on NBC and will be available for streaming on Peacock.
Despite the end of "The Kelly Clarkson Show," Clarkson expressed gratitude for the opportunity to work with a talented team and share inspiring moments with viewers. She emphasized the importance of prioritizing her children in the next chapter of her life and thanked fans, crew, and NBC for their support throughout the show's run. As she transitions to new projects and focuses on her family, Clarkson remains grateful for the experiences and connections she made during her time on the talk show.
