Just a day after announcing the end of The Kelly Clarkson Show, Kelly Clarkson made it clear she’s far from stepping away from television or music. NBC confirmed that she’ll return to The Voice on February 23 for a high-stakes event billed as The Battle of Champions.
This isn’t a typical coaching comeback. Clarkson will reunite with Adam Levine and John Legend in a format that pits past winners and fan-favorite finalists against each other in a showdown to crown the ultimate Voice champion. Fans are especially excited for the Clarkson–Levine reunion, rekindling the playful, competitive energy that defined the show’s golden years.
Clarkson’s return comes after leaving her Emmy-winning talk show, a move many saw as reclaiming balance and focus. Known for coaching winners and prioritizing vocal health over spectacle, she’s ready to bring expertise and heart to this multi-week event. Beyond The Voice, Clarkson is also preparing a limited Las Vegas residency and a new studio album, proving she’s not leaving the spotlight—she’s just choosing the stage and timing on her own terms.
