Kelly Clarkson has been at the helm of her popular chat show, The Kelly Clarkson Show, since 2019, and for the past few years she's been hosting it from New York City - a place she's proud to call her new home.
The award-winning star has many talents away from hosting too, from singing to designing homeware. She's also incredibly passionate about helping others.
At the start of 2025, Kelly teased that something exciting was going to be announced later in the year, and fans are wondering what it could possibly be.

It could well be that Kelly was hinting at a move, as rumors have been circulating that she is wanting to move on from NYC once her show's current contract ends in 2026. She has been open about wanting a good work/life balance as a single mom, raising her two young children, River Rose, ten, and Remington, eight, who she shares with ex-husband Brandon Blackstock.
She has been open about how much she loves being in the South, where she grew up, and recently opened up about spending more time there while recording music.
Appearing on Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce in March, the star talked about making music with her own label and made reference to Montana, where she has a home.

Kelly has a beautiful ranch in Montana and spends a lot of her downtime there. She also regularly bonds with guests over her love for Montana, including actor Taylor Kitsch and Justin Timberlake.

She continued: "I knew I needed a fresh start and couldn't be in LA. I really wanted to be in Montana, but you can't really do a show from there quite yet. So I was like, 'The only other option would probably be New York."
