Singer and TV personality Kelly Clarkson has announced that she will be ending her seven-year run on daytime talk show "The Kelly Clarkson Show" after its current season. Production will continue as planned, with episodes airing until the fall.
Clarkson cited a desire to prioritize her family life as the reason for her decision. She recently lost her husband and manager Brandon Blackstock to melanoma at the age of 48, and her two children are also a significant part of her life.
The singer expressed gratitude towards her team and NBCUniversal for their support during her time on the show, which has won 24 Daytime Emmy Awards, including four for best daytime talk series and four for Clarkson as best talk show host.
Clarkson has been an integral part of daytime TV since her win on "American Idol" in 2002, going on to have numerous chart-topping hits and awards. Her show, which averages around 1.2 million same-day viewers, features a unique music segment called "Kellyoke", showcasing Clarkson's vocal range and musical taste.
Although she will be stepping away from the daily talk show format, Clarkson hinted that she may return in the future, possibly through her work on "The Voice" or occasional performances.
