The Kelly Clarkson Show celebrated a significant sweep at the 2026 Daytime Emmy Awards, securing five awards, including Outstanding Daytime Talk Series, just months after its conclusion.
Clarkson shared her congratulations to the production team on Instagram, calling the show's run "incredible." "Congratulations to all the winners from The Kelly Clarkson Show! It was an incredible 7 years ❤️," she captioned a post featuring the team with their accolades.
The talk show, which premiered in 2019, was nominated for 11 Emmy awards. The final episode aired on September 1, with Clarkson having confirmed the show's end in February, citing a desire to prioritize her children.
"My kiddos have always come first, they’re a big reason I did this show, just [for] the stability, the schedule," Clarkson stated. "They’re also a big reason it’s time to say goodbye. I’m such a proud mama. They’re the greatest kiddos in the world."
This decision followed the loss of her ex-husband, Brandon Blackstock, to cancer in August 2025. Clarkson and Blackstock divorced in 2022 after a protracted legal battle. Clarkson noted that ensuring stability and support for their children, River and Remington, during their grief was paramount.
Following the talk show's conclusion, Clarkson returned to television as a coach on Season 30 of "The Voice," which premiered on September 21.
