The beloved coach, interior designer and all round host, ahead of the season four premier of The Kelly Clarkson Show, took the time to reflect on her most recent season.

The former American Idol read through a yearbook made by her crew and shared fond memories of the more than 1,000 famous visitors who dropped by.

She also praised the fact that they had nine Emmy nominations for season three and two Sports Emmy awards for the previous season, saying: "It really is exciting, my team works extremely hard."

Kelly then reflected on the immense amount of awards she and her team achieved, and one statistic made her think of a certain country music icon. 

She said, “I competed in 28 games and I only won 15 of them. This must be the feeling that Blake has on The Voice. Cause you know, I was on for eight seasons and won four, so 50 per cent of the time.”
