Rumors surrounding the future of The Kelly Clarkson Show have intensified, with speculation suggesting that the program may not continue past its seventh season. An insider recently indicated that the show might be lower on Kelly Clarkson‘s list of priorities, raising questions about its viability in the evolving daytime television landscape.
Despite these claims, a representative for the award-winning talk show has clarified that there are currently no plans to end the series. In a statement to Entertainment Weekly, the rep emphasized, “We are not even halfway through season 7!” This response comes in light of online speculation suggesting that the show’s sustainability was in jeopardy.
Rumors and Clarifications
Last week, discussions about the show’s future gained traction when an unnamed source described it as no longer “sustainable.” The representative for The Kelly Clarkson Show urged fans to refrain from jumping to conclusions, noting that no definitive decisions have been made regarding the show’s continuation.
As the seventh season commenced in September 2023, Clarkson kicked off the series in a signature style, performing a cover of The Weeknd‘s “Blinding Lights” during the opening. The season aims to focus on positivity and community engagement, with new segments like Life Well Lit and Celebs With Skills designed to highlight uplifting stories rather than just celebrity gossip. Executive producer Alex Duda explained that this direction is a response to current societal challenges, echoing the sentiment of looking for “helpers” in tough times.
Clarkson’s Personal Journey
Clarkson’s personal life has seen significant changes in the past year, particularly following the death of her ex-husband, Brandon Blackstock, in 2025. This loss has influenced her availability for both The Kelly Clarkson Show and her role as a judge on The Voice. Clarkson has reportedly taken time away from her commitments to focus on her children, who are coping with their father’s passing.
The show continues to capture audiences, and despite the swirling rumors, Clarkson remains committed to her role as host. The ongoing seventh season is set to run through the summer, with plans to maintain its focus on community and positive storytelling.
As discussions about the show’s future continue, it appears that Clarkson is not ready to step away from Studio 6A just yet. The representative’s comments suggest a commitment to the show’s vision, reassuring fans that there is still much to look forward to in the coming months.
