Kelly Clarkson tears up during 'The Kelly Clarkson Show' finale

Clarkson opened her final show by saying it was a “bittersweet” day as an era came to a close. However, in true style of her syndicated talk show, the singer took to the mic with her rendition of “Golden,” the Oscar-winning song from KPop Demon Hunters.

Before the final credits rolled on screen, Clarkson did her last edition of “What I’m Liking,” which she dedicated to her kids River and Remy. The talk show host reminded viewers that a big reason she did the show was the stability and schedule, adding, “And they’re also a big reason it’s time to say goodbye.”

“I’m such a proud mama. They’re the greatest kids in the world,” Clarkson said.
