Kelly moves coasts
While no official reason has been given for her decision to not return as a coach for season 24, Variety has claimed that Kelly Clarkson’s daytime TV show The Kelly Clarkson Show will move to New York City from Los Angeles—where The Voice tapes.
During an appearance on TalkShopLive, Kelly explained that her loved ones inspired the decision to change the soundstage.
She was adamant about moving, even if it meant canceling her chat program. NBC agreed to her request.
“Being isolated and so far from your family, that’s not good for anyone. My family is East Coast, they’re North Carolina based,” she said to the outlet. “So, it was one of those things where I just had to [do it].”
