She expressed gratitude to the dedicated team she has worked with on ‘The Kelly Clarkson Show’ in both Los Angeles and New York branches. She recounted the memorable moments of the seven seasons and thanked her fans for their support. She admitted that leaving was not an easy choice, but added that she would continue her musical career and might appear occasionally on ‘The Voice’.
