Kelly Clarkson has officially announced that her popular daytime talk show will wrap up after its current season, bringing an end to a successful seven-year run. The singer, television personality, and Grammy-winning artist shared the news with fans through an emotional statement on Instagram, confirming that this season will mark the final chapter of her daytime journey.
Gratitude for an Unforgettable Journey
In her message, Clarkson reflected warmly on the experience of hosting the show, expressing deep appreciation for the team and the community that helped shape its success.
She shared how fortunate she felt to work with an exceptional group of professionals in both Los Angeles and New York. Over the years, the show created countless memorable moments, and Clarkson thanked the band, production crew, celebrity guests, inspiring everyday people, loyal viewers, and NBC for their unwavering support.
According to Clarkson, the relationships she built behind the scenes made the decision especially emotional, highlighting just how meaningful the experience had been.
Choosing Family First
Despite the show’s success, Clarkson explained that stepping away was necessary for personal reasons. As she noted in her announcement tied to ‘The Kelly Clarkson Show’ to Conclude After Seven Seasons, Says Host: “This Wasn’t an Easy Decision”, the demanding daily schedule played a major role in her choice.
She shared that ending the show will allow her to focus more on her children — 11-year-old daughter River Rose and 9-year-old son Remy — and prioritize their needs during an important stage of their lives. Clarkson described the decision as difficult but ultimately the right move for this new chapter.
Her family has faced significant challenges in recent years, making the shift toward a more flexible lifestyle even more meaningful.
Not Goodbye — Just a New Beginning
While the talk show is ending, Clarkson reassured fans that she isn’t stepping away from the spotlight entirely. She plans to continue making music, performing live when possible, and may still appear occasionally on The Voice or other projects.
She closed her message with heartfelt thanks, expressing gratitude to viewers who welcomed the show into their daily routines and supported it throughout its run.
A Successful Legacy
New episodes of the show will continue airing through fall 2026, giving fans time to celebrate its final season. Staff and crew members were informed of the decision the same day Clarkson shared the news publicly.
Since its debut in 2019, the show became known for its uplifting tone, engaging interviews, and the wildly popular “Kellyoke” segment, where Clarkson showcased her vocal range through creative cover performances. Over seven seasons, the program earned an impressive 24 Daytime Emmy Awards, cementing its place as one of the most successful daytime talk shows of its era.
As Clarkson prepares to close this chapter, her message remains clear: the show may be ending, but her connection with fans — and her creative journey — is far from over.
