Kelly Clarkson Reportedly Facing 'Very Painful' Personal Struggles That Might Force Her To Quit Her Popular Show
Kelly Clarkson has reportedly had a "moment of clarity" following her brief break from her widely popular talk show due to personal matters. Back in March, the singer abruptly stepped away from her show for two weeks, leaving celebrity guests to fill in for her until her return. Now, sources claim that Kelly Clarkson faced "very painful" personal issues, and that she might leave her show, as she "knows her limits." According to a new report, Clarkson is seeing things more clearly now after going through a tough period in her life that forced her to take a break from her show in March. While she has yet to speak on the reason behind her absence, fans at the time were told that the singer had a "private matter" to attend to, which has left many concerned to this day. "This has all been very painful for her," an industry source who has worked with Clarkson told Page Six. They continued, "The difficulty is that Kelly, like all of us, wants to be liked, and she had to deal with this new moment in her life. She knew she had to step down for a minute." The industry insider further shared: "She has her priorities, and her family comes first, but I think she's been humbled by the whole situation… what has happened has given her a moment of clarity, I think." Clarkson's recent issues came at a time when she was getting her life back on track after a bitter divorce battle with her ex-husband, Brandon Blackstock. The former couple, who called it quits on their marriage in 2020, share two children together: daughter River Rose and son Remington "Remy" Alexander. Clarkson herself was open about the toll the divorce took on her. In a chat with Apple Music in 2023, she admitted, "Just to be brutally honest, I did not handle [the divorce] well." Blackstock and Clarkson's split was further complicated by the role he played as her manager, the brain behind her multimillion-dollar deal with NBC, and her talk show. "The irony is that he's had a very positive influence on her life; he made these phenomenal deals for her, and she wouldn't be here without him. But it's hard to be a manager and a husband," the industry insider noted. "At the time, she greatly appreciated what he had done for her career." Now, beyond her hectic daytime show, Clarkson has several other endeavors weighing on her, including her recently launched record label, High Road Records, and her upcoming Las Vegas residency, "Kelly Clarkson: Studio Sessions," which is set to begin on July 4. These various ventures, along with her personal issues, have raised questions about the future of her daytime show. "She knows her limits, even on 'The Voice', when she was working so hard, she knew when she needed a refresh – that's what you're seeing now," the industry insider stated, per Page Six. "She is a very feeling, sensitive person, as you see on the talk show, and that's both in her personal and professional life." Back in April, insiders revealed to Page Six that the "Wrapped In Red" singer was considering quitting her talk show to spend more time with her children. However, NBC executives are reportedly doing everything they can to keep her happy, in the hope that she will reconsider her decision to step down from the role she has been helming since 2019. "Kelly's number one priority is her children, and they always will be," a source told the news outlet about Clarkson. "The show is grueling. It's a whole lot of work, and I hear that Kelly would like to spend more time down South." Another source explained that NBC would like to ensure Clarkson remains on the network to host holiday specials, such as "Christmas in Rockefeller Center." After her return from her two-week break, Clarkson noted how she and her family experienced "kind of a dark week." During an episode of "The Kelly Clarkson Show," where she hosted the stars of "A Minecraft Movie," Danielle Brooks, Jack Black, and Jason Momoa, Clarkson opened up about how their efforts on the film positively affected her family. "It was kind of a dark week for me and my family, and I got to preview the movie with them," she shared, per Decider. "It was such an exciting thing. So I just wanted to say thank you. It brought my kids out of, like, a sad time to, like, just a normal kind of time." The "Because of You" singer did not elaborate on the nature of the "sad time" as she went on to sing "A Minecraft Movie" praises, noting that "it's such a great film." "And that's the reason why I love it, 'cause it's like a family film. Everybody can watch, it makes you feel good," Clarkson added. "It's inspiring, it's creative. Well done on the movie. It's so good."

Kelly Clarkson's New Single Jumps Nearly 300% In Sales
Kelly Clarkson's 'Where Have You Been?' rebounds to No. 10 on Digital Song Sales after The Voice ... More performance, with purchases climbing nearly 300% in just days. NEW YORK, NEW YORK - SEPTEMBER 22: Kelly Clarkson is seen performing during NBC's "Today" show Citi Concert Series at Rockefeller Plaza on September 22, 2023 in New York City. (Photo by Gilbert Carrasquillo/GC Images) Kelly Clarkson surprised and delighted fans earlier this month with a brand new single, "Where Have You Been?" which dropped on May 2. That tune came with little warning, and while it's not entirely clear if she has plans to produce another album anytime soon, any new work from the superstar is always welcome by her followers. While it hasn't become an unqualified smash — the kind she has scored multiple times throughout her lengthy and storied career — "Where Have You Been?" was an instant bestseller. Now, following a high-profile TV performance, the track has become a top performer again on a Billboard tally. "Where Have You Been" returns to one ranking in America this week. The single reenters the Digital Song Sales tally, the list of the top-selling tracks in the country, and it manages to reappear in the highest space. Clarkson lands at No. 10 this frame after not appearing anywhere on the 25-spot roster just a few days ago. Luminate reports that in the past tracking period, "Where Have You Been" sold a little over 2,700 copies. That's up a whopping 289% from the prior frame, when it managed just 700 sales — an increase of almost exactly 2,000 purchases in the span of only a matter of days. While Clarkson got her start on American Idol, she has since become a fixture on The Voice, another popular singing reality series. The Grammy winner performed the track on an episode of The Voice earlier this month, and that appearance seems to have had a significant positive effect on sales. Clarkson was a judge on The Voice starting with season 14 in 2018. She remained on the program for eight consecutive stints, then stepped away for a short time before returning for season 22.

Lizzo's New Single Finally Becomes A Hit, With Some Help From A Major Pop Star
Lizzo's 'Still Bad' debuts at No. 11 on Digital Song Sales after a duet with Kelly Clarkson, marking ... More her first chart hit in over a year. ROSKILDE, DENMARK - JULY 01: Lizzo performs at Roskilde Festival 2023 on July 01, 2023 in Roskilde, Denmark. (Photo by Joseph Okpako/WireImage) It's been well over two months since Lizzo released her most recent single, "Still Bad." The track was a commercial disappointment in its earliest days, as the singer, songwriter and rapper was surely hoping it would become a major hit and kick off her latest album campaign, as she's currently hyping the world for her forthcoming Love in Real Life. But sadly, that didn't turn out to be the case. Long after the tune was shared with the public, it finally becomes a bestseller in America, thanks to an assist from another one of the most successful women in pop music. "Still Bad" debuts at No. 11 on Billboard's Digital Song Sales chart this week. That tally ranks the bestselling cuts on platforms like iTunes and Amazon, and this time around, that includes Lizzo's most recent offering. Luminate reports that in the past tracking period, "Still Bad" sold just under 2,700 copies. "Still Bad" may be new to the Digital Song Sales chart, but as mentioned, it's not actually very new as far as pop music goes. Lizzo's cut experiences a 286% gain in pure purchases from one frame to the next. Just days ago, it ended a tracking period with 700 sales — and the following stint, it adds about 2,000 to that sum. "Still Bad" experiences such a boom after Kelly Clarkson invited Lizzo onto her daytime talk show to perform the tune. The singers turned it into a duet earlier this month, but it's Lizzo who enjoys the spoils on the Billboard rankings, as Clarkson doesn't earn credit on the cut. "Still Bad" earns Lizzo her twelfth placement on the Digital Song Sales tally, and her first since 2023. In August of that year, "Pink," the song she wrote and recorded for the Barbie soundtrack, peaked at No. 22. "Still Bad" has already been present on one Billboard ranking for more than two months. This frame, it drops seven spaces to No. 37 on the Adult Pop Airplay chart in its tenth stay on that radio roster. The tune previously peaked at No. 21.
