Kelly Clarkson has quickly become one of the most popular talk show hosts of the last five years, but audiences of The Kelly Clarkson Show may be in for an unexpected surprise by the end of the current season.
A new insider report has revealed that the singer-songwriter is allegedly planning to quit her talk show once its current seventh season comes to an end. While there have been rumors circulating about her departure for quite some time, sources are saying it’s practically “definite” after this season, given she and her family are still grieving the loss of her ex, Brandon Blackstock, and it’s been reported that her music career is what “makes her the happiest.” Read more about the situation and what fans had to say below.

Kelly Clarkson Is Reportedly Exiting Her Talk Show Following Its Current Season
Although the hit daytime talk show has been on air for six years, garnering more and more fans with every season, it's no secret that over the last year, the "Since U Been Gone" singer has been ducking out more frequently. Last season, Kelly was noticeably absent during several episodes, and this past August, it was revealed that she had been dealing with her ex-husband, Brandon Blackstock's illness, which he succumbed to that month.
Throughout the last season, insiders began reporting that the mom-of-two was becoming increasingly unhappy with the show and its demanding schedule, allegedly wanting to spend more time with her young children, Remy and River, and get back to being a full-time musician, as they say, writing and performing music "makes her the happiest."
Well, it looks like the singer might finally get the break she's reportedly been longing for, as several insiders recently came forward to say that she's getting ready to depart the show once this season is over. "[Her show] is a lot to put on, and looking at the landscape across daytime television, it's not sustainable anymore," a source told Page Six, as another added that it is "likely it will not go on."

Many fans were upset to hear the report, while others wrote about how they would understand if she left, acknowledging the difficult year she's faced.
"She had a rough year or two lately, don't blame her," wrote a fan on Reddit.
"[The] one daytime show that was actually good," added another. "I get it, though. Her time with her kids is first."
"I love her show and her," commented a viewer on Instagram. "This sucks."
"I'm so sad!" wrote a fan on Facebook, as another commented, "I will miss her!"
"But she needs to focus on her music and family," they continued. After reflecting on her latest loss, one user added, "You can tell she doesn't love doing it."
Although the reports sound pretty serious and convincing, an additional insider told the above publication that "nothing is definite yet," and that there's still a "long season" ahead of her.
