Kelly Clarkson Ends Talk Show After 7 Seasons to Focus on Family
Kelly Clarkson announced that the current season of her daytime talk show will be the last. Media reports say the decision was difficult, but the singer wants to focus on her family.
In her announcement, Clarkson expressed gratitude to the team, viewers, and NBC. «I am forever grateful and honored to work with the best team imaginable,» she said.
«Stepping away from the daily schedule will allow me to devote more attention to my children, which seems necessary and right for this new chapter in our lives,» Clarkson explained. She emphasized that this is not a farewell, and promised to continue making music, occasionally giving concerts, and sometimes appearing on projects like The Voice.
The decision coincides with tragic events in the singer«s personal life. Her ex-husband Brandon Blackstock died in August 2025 after a three-year battle with skin cancer. According to sources, after his death, Clarkson, who became a single mother, reassessed her priorities.
As insiders noted as early as late January, the show could be coming to an end. «She adores her talk show, but it»s at the bottom of the list of things she«d like to do next,» media quoted an anonymous source. Meanwhile, the dedication of the team, which supported her during her ex-husband«s illness, might have been one reason to extend the project for another season.
Other informants added that Clarkson has long been ready to leave. «She already has one foot out the door. It»s not about money — she just wants to do other things and be more with her family,« they stated. It was also emphasized that the singer always communicated warmly with the staff and knew their personal stories.
