Kelly Clarkson has no reason to come back to Los Angeles following her New York City move. The American Idol winner packed her talk show studio and headed East to the Big Apple where she now hosts her daytime program.
With Clarkson’s move to NYC to be closer to her family, the singer’s future as a coach on The Voice was in doubt as the singing competition films out of L.A. In a new interview, the “A Moment Like This” singer is seemingly done spinning in her chair.
“I’ve learned a lot about what I’m capable of handling, and also what you should not handle. That was me saying ‘bye’ to The Voice and having this big move,” Kelly told USA Today. “I love that family, but I was like, ‘I’m struggling. I can’t smile anymore. I don’t feel like smiling.’”
The Voice Season 24 is currently airing on NBC with Niall Horan, Gwen Stefani, John Legend and Reba McEntire. Season 25, which will air sometime in 2024, already has McEntire and Legend returning to the revolving coach chairs. Chance the Rapper is also returning as coach with Dan + Shay being added to the lineup as the first coaching duo.
Clarkson has an extensive history with The Voice going back to Season 2 of the show when she was an advisor to Blake Shelton. The star would return in Season 13 to be an advisor to all the coaches. Clarkson became an official coach starting with Season 14 and going all the way through Season 21. She would take a break and return to Season 23, which aired earlier this year.
