In a heartfelt announcement that has surprised fans across Canada and beyond, Kelly Clarkson has revealed that the current season of her popular daytime talk program will be its last. The Grammy-winning artist and television host made the emotional declaration via Instagram, confirming that The Kelly Clarkson Show will conclude after an impressive seven-season run.
A Difficult Decision for Family First
Clarkson expressed deep gratitude for her team and the experiences she has shared with viewers, but emphasized that her choice to step away stems from a desire to prioritize her children. "This was not an easy decision," Clarkson stated in her social media post, "but stepping away from the daily schedule will allow me to prioritize my kids, which feels necessary and right for this next chapter of our lives."
The singer has two children with her late ex-husband Brandon Blackson: daughter River Rose, who is 11 years old, and son Remy, aged 9. Blackson passed away in August 2025 following a prolonged battle with cancer, adding significant personal context to Clarkson's family-focused decision.
Celebrating Seven Successful Seasons
Since its debut in 2019, The Kelly Clarkson Show has become a daytime television staple, earning critical acclaim and accumulating an impressive 29 Daytime Emmy Awards. The program featured Clarkson in dual roles as both interviewer and performer, with her popular "Kellyoke" musical segments consistently drawing substantial online engagement and viewership numbers.
Clarkson took time to acknowledge the collaborative effort behind the show's success: "I have been extremely fortunate to work with such an outstanding group of people at The Kelly Clarkson Show, both in Los Angeles and New York," she shared. "I am forever grateful and honored to have worked alongside the greatest band and crew you could hope for."
What Comes Next for the Multi-Talented Star
While her daily talk show commitments will end, Clarkson made clear that this does not signal a complete departure from the entertainment industry. The artist confirmed she will continue creating music, performing occasional shows, and may make guest appearances on NBC's The Voice, where she previously served as a coach.
"I'll still be making music, playing shows here and there, and you may catch me on The Voice from time to time," Clarkson told her followers. "You never know where I might show up next."
Her message concluded with appreciation for the audience that supported the program throughout its tenure: "I want to thank y'all so much for allowing our show to be a part of your lives, and for believing in us and hanging with us for seven incredible years."
The announcement marks a significant transition for daytime television programming while highlighting the ongoing balance many public figures navigate between professional commitments and family responsibilities.
