The Kelly Clarkson Show is officially ending its run after a seven-season run. Here's why it is wrapping soon despite its successful viewership.

There have been rumors for a while that the popular daytime talk show is allegedly ending its run due to the challenges of the current daytime TV landscape, but it was quickly shot down by a representative last week.

However, things have changed in the last few days as Clarkson has now made it official. So why is the series ending amidst its viral success and solid TV ratings?

Why The Kelly Clarkson Show is Ending Soon

In her post on Instagram, Clarkson officially confirmed to her followers that her daytime talk show is ending after the current seventh season.

She explained that the decision to end The Kelly Clarkson Show was hers, as she wanted to spend more time with her family and prioritize her personal life.

"I have been extremely fortunate to work with such an outstanding group of people at The Kelly Clarkson Show, both in Los Angeles and New York. There have been so many amazing moments and shows over these seven seasons," she wrote.

"I am forever grateful and honored to have worked alongside the greatest band and crew you could hope for, all the talent and inspiring people who have shared their time and lives with us, all the fans who have supported our show, and to NBC for always being such a supportive and incredible partner."

Clarkson continued, "Because of all of that, this was not an easy decision, but this season will be my last hosting The Kelly Clarkson Show. 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."

However, the singer clarified that she will continue to work on her music career, and she will still be part of The Voice from time to time.

"This isn’t goodbye. 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," she wrote.

"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."

So far, no exact date has been set for the airing of the final episode of The Kelly Clarkson Show.

Production for the seventh season is still ongoing, with episodes continuing to air until fall. There will also be special guest hosts for some of the episodes in the rest of the season.

The show introduced two new segments at the beginning of the seventh season as part of the singer's goal of "finding the light and shining it on people who are really trying to make a difference."

"When things are tough, it’s that Mister Rogers saying: ‘You look for the helpers.’ And that's what we always try to do," executive producer Alex Duda said.

The new segments are "Celebs With Skills," where celebrity guests visit the program to teach Clarkson a useful talent, and "Life Well Lit," where it's all "about people just spreading joy."

For now, fans should wait for more news and updates regarding the rest of the current season in the coming months.
