Kelly Clarkson finally saying goodbye to ‘The Kelly Clarkson Show'

Kelly Clarkson revealed that her talk show became much more than just a job during some very difficult years.

The singer has hosted The Kelly Clarkson Show since 2019, but the seventh season will be her last.

Looking back at her time on the show, Kelly said there was hardly ever a normal season.

The world went through the pandemic, while she was also dealing with big changes in her own life.

She explained that coming to work and putting her attention on other people helped her get through those difficult moments.

“I think that saved me, honestly, a lot of times,” Kelly said.

The 44-year-old star earlier shared that she wanted to leave the show so she could spend more time with her kids, River Rose, 12, and Remington, 10.

Kelly shares her children with Brandon Blackstock, who died in August 2025 at the age of 48.

She said leaving the daily show was not an easy choice, but being there for her children now feels more important.

The TV icon also thanked her crew, band, guests, fans and NBC for supporting her throughout the seven seasons.

As she gets ready to leave the show, Kelly's words make it clear that the experience meant far more to her than simply being on television.
