The Kelly Clarkson Show is coming to an end.
Kelly Clarkson announced on Monday, February 2, that her Daytime Emmy-winning talk show will conclude after its seventh season, which is currently airing.
“I have been extremely fortunate to work with such an outstanding group of people at TKCS, both in Los Angeles and New York. There have been so many amazing moments and shows over these seven seasons. I am forever grateful and honored to have worked alongside the greatest band and crew you could hope for, all the talent and inspiring people who have shared their time and lives with us, all the fans who have supported our show, and to NBC for always being such a supportive and incredible partner,” Clarkson, 43, wrote via Instagram.
She continued, “Because of all of that, this was not an easy decision — but this season will be my last hosting TKCS. 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.”
Clarkson went on to note that “this isn’t goodbye,” adding that she will “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 concluded, “But for now, I want to thank y’all so much for allowing our show to be a part of your lives, and for believing in us and hanging with us for seven incredible years.”
The Kelly Clarkson Show premiered in September 2019. The host taped the first four seasons of the nationally syndicated series in Los Angeles before moving to New York City in October 2023.
Clarkson opened most episodes of her talk show with her beloved “Kellyoke” segment, which saw the American Idol alum cover songs by artists including Celine Dion, The Weeknd, Whitney Houston and Billie Eilish.
During The Kelly Clarkson Show‘s run, Clarkson also hosted a primetime series, Songs & Stories With Kelly Clarkson, which debuted on NBC last summer and featured conversations and acoustic duets with the Jonas Brothers, Gloria Estefan, Teddy Swims and Lizzo.
Clarkson’s future on TV has been in question since the death of her ex-husband, Brandon Blockstock, in August 2025. The former couple, who were married from October 2013 to March 2022, shared two children together: daughter River Rose, 11, and son Remington “Remy” Alexander, 9. Blackstock also had two kids from his previous marriage to Melissa Ashworth: daughter Savannah, 23, and son Seth, 19.
Clarkson stepped away from The Kelly Clarkson Show to spend time with her children in the final days of Blackstock’s private battle with melanoma, an aggressive form of skin cancer. The former talent manager, who was Reba McEntire‘s stepson, was 48 when he died.
“Kelly is a great mom and has needed to be there for her kids,” a source told Us Weekly at the time, adding that “only a few people in Kelly’s circle” and “a handful of her show’s team” knew about Blackstock’s health issues.
A second insider added, “Kelly is a workhorse. Hard work is all she knows. She hates disappointing people, truly. The thing that kept her going was knowing how many people depend on her, like her crews and employees.”
Clarkson and Blackstock infamously went through a bitter divorce, but a third source told Us that the rancher’s cancer diagnosis “changed their perspectives” on their relationship.
“They have had a bunch of family events in the past months that she allowed her kids to be present for,” the source explained. “They were out there [in Montana] visiting him, and I know she let them miss school a bunch to attend a family wedding and Reba’s rodeo concert, as well as some other things that the entire family did together. She felt it was important.”
