Kelly Clarkson Says She's Not Returning To The Voice: 'That Was Me Saying Bye'

Kelly Clarkson has taken her last red-chaired swivel.

Following the singer-turned-daytime TV host's recent move from Los Angeles to New York City, Clarkson says she has said goodbye to NBC's singing competition series The Voice.

"I've learned a lot about what I'm capable of handling, and also what you should not handle," she told USA Today. "That was me saying 'bye' to The Voice and having this big move. I love that family, but I was like, 'I'm struggling. I can't smile anymore. I don't feel like smiling.'"

The American Idol winner said her cross-country move was "very needed," and that she's learned over the years to not spread herself so thin. Her daytime show, The Kelly Clarkson Show, now tapes at New York City's 30 Rockefeller Plaza, where she kicked off its fifth season Monday, Oct. 16.

Clarkson started with The Voice in Season 2 when she served as an advisor to Blake Shelton, returning in Season 13 to be an advisor to all four coaches. In Season 14, she officially claimed her own red chair and stayed put all the way through Season 21. She took one season off before returning to Season 23, which aired earlier this year.

The Voice Season 24 is currently airing on NBC with Niall Horan, Gwen Stefani, John Legend and Reba McEntire. McEntire and Legend are already scheduled to return for Season 25 (airing some time next year), which will also star Chance the Rapper and first-timers Dan + Shay.
