After seven seasons and over a thousand episodes, Kelly Clarkson is bringing her daytime talk show, *The Kelly Clarkson Show*, to a close. The announcement, made by the singer herself, marks the end of an era for the program that became a daily staple for many.
Clarkson, 43, explained that the decision wasn’t easy, but ultimately stemmed from a desire to refocus on her family. She wants to prioritize the needs of her two children, River Rose and Remington Alexander, during what she describes as a crucial next chapter in their lives.
The singer expressed deep gratitude for the incredible team behind the scenes, praising the band, crew, and the inspiring guests who shared their stories on the show. She acknowledged the extraordinary support she received throughout its run.
