Kelly Clarkson is wrapping up 'The Kelly Clarkson Show' after its seventh season, prioritizing her kids amid personal challenges. The Emmy-winning series, a daytime staple since 2019, will air new episodes through fall 2026 before signing off. Clarkson shared a heartfelt statement thanking everyone involved.
Oh honey, grab your coffee because the tea is piping hot: Kelly Clarkson just confirmed that 'The Kelly Clarkson Show' is bowing out after seven glorious seasons. Announced on Monday, the current Season 7 will keep rolling with new episodes straight through the fall, but come 2027, it's a wrap on her daily hosting gig. And why now? Kelly's putting family first, especially after the heartbreaking loss of her ex-husband, Brandon Blackstock, who passed away in August 2025 at just 48. She shares two kids with him, and as she put it in her statement to Variety, "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."
But don't think this is a full exit from the spotlight—far from it! Kelly spilled, "This isn’t goodbye. I’ll still be making music, playing shows here and there and you may catch me on The Voice from time to time … you never know where I might show up next." She's also gushing over the ride: "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... I am forever grateful and honored." Shoutout to the crew, band, guests, fans, and NBCUniversal for making it "amazing."
The show's no slouch either—premiering in 2019, it snagged 24 Daytime Emmy Awards, including four for Outstanding Daytime Talk Series and four for Kelly herself. It pulled in about 1.2 million same-day viewers, consistently ranking in the top three syndicated talkers. And those social numbers? Over 2 billion views this season alone, with Kellyoke reigning supreme on feeds everywhere. Special guest hosts will fill in for the remaining episodes, details TBA.
Mom life over mic life? Sounds like the ultimate power move. But spill: will we see Kelly back in that red chair sooner than we think? 🔥
