Kelly Clarkson recently announced that she's leaving The Kelly Clarkson Show after seven seasons, which means we're no longer going to be treated to the greatest covers e-v-e-r. And if you're wondering what the Grammy winner is up to next, there's some new intel.
TLDR: she wants to spend time with her kids, work on music, and perform more.
A source tells People that "After years of an intense daily schedule, she’s excited to move at a different pace and have more flexibility to spend time with her kids without the structure of a daily show. This change gives her the space to be more present at home while still doing the creative work she loves. Kelly still wants to make music and perform, and she’s open to popping up on projects she enjoys, but nothing that requires an ongoing daily grind. For her, this next phase is about balance."
Kelly announced her departure amid tons of rumors that she'd leave her show, and touched on wanting to spend more time with her children.
"This was not an easy decision, but this season will be my last hosting The Kelly Clarkson Show," she said. "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."
"This isn’t goodbye," Kelly added. "I’ll 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. 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."
