This comes after Clarkson announced her decision to leave The Voice after nine seasons as one of the singing competition show’s four celebrity coaches.
The pop star spoke to USA Today about her personal and professional transition.
The Since U Been Gone singer finalized her divorce from producer and executive Brandon Blackstock in March 2022 — and also just moved her eponymous talk show from LA to New York City for its fifth season, which premiered this week.
Kelly and Brandon, 46, who met in 2006, were married for almost seven years before the singer filed for divorce in June 2020.
They share two children: River Rose, nine, and Remington Alexander, seven.
Meanwhile, she seemed to be having a hard time balancing her duties on The Kelly Clarkson Show and her commitment to The Voice over the past few years, she told USA Today.
“Full disclosure, I put on a smile a lot because I was having a lot of trouble in my personal life,” Kelly said of her appearance on the first four seasons of her talk show.
“I learned a lot about what I was capable of and what not to deal with.” That meant I said goodbye to The Voice and took this big step. I love this family, but I thought, “I have problems. I can’t smile anymore. I don’t feel like smiling.”

Give people what they want! The announcement said the show had returned “by popular demand.”

Kelly first appeared on The Voice in 2018 as one of four coaches, making her debut in season 14.
She stayed until season 21 and skipped season 22 before officially ending her time on the reality series with season 23, which ended in May of this year.
Speaking about her new beginning – both after her divorce and on the fifth season reboot of The Kelly Clarkson Show in New York City – Kelly gushed that the current moment in her career felt like a “beautiful gift.”
“What’s cool about Season 5 for me?” [of The Kelly Clarkson Show] “I’ve been doing so well, not just with my kids, but with myself personally and with the show,” she told USA Today.

Kelly debuted her eponymous talk show in 2019. The first four seasons were filmed in a studio in Los Angeles – while the fifth season is filmed and produced in NYC
“I feel like a weight has been lifted.” This step was urgently needed. I think the thing I’m most excited about in Season 5 on a selfish level is just showing up to work smiling and really meaning it. “It’s a beautiful gift that you only realize once you’ve had it.”
She further admitted that she originally thought moving to NYC would be a “terrible decision.”
“I’ll be honest: I thought I was making a terrible decision,” she said.
“I knew I needed a fresh start and couldn’t be in LA.” I really wanted to be in Montana, but you can’t do a show from there yet. So I thought to myself, “The only other option would probably be New York.”
But after just a few weeks, her initial concerns felt like a distant memory.
“I really love it and I love that my kids love it,” she said.
