Kelly Clarkson Ends Daytime Show with Children by Her Side and a Pair of Her Own Hits

The singer closed out seven seasons of 'The Kelly Clarkson Show' on Aug. 31, featuring her children River and Remington in the audience and on stage. She performed a Kellyoke cover of 'Golden' and then her own songs 'Since U Been Gone' and 'Stronger' during the farewell episode. Clarkson expressed gratitude to her crew and viewers, saying she loved being in their homes each day.

Clarkson's farewell episode capped a seven-year run that began in 2019 and earned her Daytime Emmy nominations in both hosting and series categories every single season. Her decision to step away followed the death of her ex-husband Brandon Blackstock at age 48 after a three-year cancer battle, a loss she cited when announcing the show's end in February.

During the finale, her children shared personal memories, with River praising her daily dedication and Remington recalling a highlight involving Jason Momoa and a band performance of "My Way." Clarkson's Kellyoke segment, a signature feature with over 1,000 installments, concluded with a cover before she pivoted to her own catalog. She remains active as a coach on The Voice.
