Why Kelly Clarkson’s Friends Are Reportedly Concerned About Her As She Prepares To Return To The Voice

by

It came as a shocking turn of events, given rumors suggesting that Kelly Clarkson might be contemplating parting ways with her talk show, to learn that she will actually rejoin The Voice for its 29th season in the spring. The winner of American Idol had departed the singing competition in 2023 when she relocated the production of The Kelly Clarkson Show to New York. This news has understandably sparked worries about the future of her talk show, and friends are also reportedly worried about Clarkson herself.

Kelly Clarkson has openly discussed the challenging nature of her talk show’s workload, which some perceive as overly frank. According to Star magazine, the addition of “The Voice: Battle of Champions” might further increase her workload, with the source commenting that she seems to be taking on too many tasks at once. The source added:

It’s surprising to her friends that she accepted this opportunity given that she adores The Voice and it seems enjoyable. However, they had hoped she would decline, spend time with family, relax, and alleviate financial concerns without drawing attention to herself.

The filming for the 29th season of “The Voice” has started simultaneously with Season 28, which is set to be aired on fall television schedules in 2025. In this upcoming season, coaches Reba McEntire, Snoop Dogg, Niall Horan, and Michael Bublé are involved. A new season featuring the return of Kelly Clarkson will premiere in February 2026, with Adam Levine and John Legend joining her as fellow coaching legends.

Beyond her involvement with the NBC singing competition, Kelly Clarkson is additionally engaged in a Las Vegas residency, albeit one that has been fraught with drama as she postponed the initial two shows recently. Furthermore, Clarkson still has one season remaining on her contract for The Kelly Clarkson Show, which will resume in the autumn. Reports claim that her friends are concerned about her well-being, stating that she appears to be “overworking and running out of steam.” They expressed their concerns by saying:

Although she hasn’t ended her talk show yet, her superiors wish for her to continue, as they find ways to work through their disagreements. Various conferences are being arranged, keeping her extremely busy. In other words, she’s skillfully managing multiple tasks all at once.

Previous reports hinted at a possible return of her musical endeavors in her career, yet she’s taking her time and not hastily making any commitments.

As a devoted film fan, I’ve been closely following the developments regarding one of my favorite talk show hosts, Kelly Clarkson. Troubling whispers started circulating earlier this year when she was unable to attend several tapings due to a personal issue. Additionally, murmurs about off-screen difficulties emerged, suggesting that she yearned for more time with her children, expressing a desire that resonates deeply with many of us parents out there.

Engaging in another endeavor becomes rather perplexing at this point, given that ‘The Voice’ production and her residency are ongoing, along with speculation about her future on daytime television. All we can do now is stay patient and cross our fingers that she listens to the reported advice from her friends.

You’ll need to be patient before Kelly Clarkson appears as a coach again on “The Voice,” but fans are already buzzing about Niall Horan teaming up with Reba McEntire in Season 28 this fall. As of now, the exact premiere date hasn’t been disclosed yet. However, once it airs, you can catch the episodes on NBC or stream them the following day if you have a Peacock subscription.
