Famous Singer Reportedly Being Eyed To Take Over Kelly Clarkson’s Show

According to a report, singer Pink has moved to New York and will likely be taking over from her fellow singer.

Reports of Pink’s New York move come after Kelly Clarkson candidly revealed the real reason she decided to ditch her popular talk show.

According to Page Six, singer Pink, real name Alecia Beth Moore, is now in New York and may be taking over from Clarkson, who recently confirmed she was ending her show, “The Kelly Clarkson Show,” after its seventh season.

Sources told the news outlet that Pink was in the city over the summer and is back on the scene, as she was spotted at Soho House going over some documents.

“I saw her at Soho House yesterday with a guy who seemed to be part of [the] team,” a source who is a member of the Meatpacking District private club stated. “She spent a few hours reading paperwork and documents on a computer.”

The individual further noted that Pink donned a head wrap and sweats during the outing and “looked beautiful.”

The singer’s move to New York seemingly spurred rumors about her marriage, as she recently had to shut down a claim that she and her husband, Carey Hart, had separated after 20 years of marriage. According to Hart’s social media, he, too, is currently in the Big Apple.

Regarding Pink’s potential takeover of Clarkson’s show, a source shared, “She’s been guest-hosting, and it seems she’s doing very well, and that’s the plan.”

Pink will begin her run as guest host on Monday, and it’s expected to last for an entire week.

Clarkson’s decision to leave her successful, eponymous talk show at the end of the season has continued to ripple among viewers who had hoped she would carry on, despite the personal challenges she has faced in recent years.

As she explained in an Instagram post announcing the news, the choice was not made lightly. Ultimately, it came down to her need to prioritize what matters most in her life right now.

Chief among those priorities is her family, particularly her children, daughter River, 11, and son Remington, 9, whom she has been raising largely on her own following the death of her late ex-husband, Brandon Blackstock.

However, Clarkson’s departure had seemingly been in the works for some time. As the years went on, the increasingly “all-consuming” nature of the award-winning talk show made stepping away feel not just inevitable, but necessary.

“Kelly didn’t realize how all-consuming the show would be,” a source told US Weekly. “It’s her entire life.”

According to an insider, the TV personality also never anticipated the show’s success, adding that it “left her with little time to pursue anything else.”

Beyond her responsibilities as a mother, Kelly Clarkson’s departure also appears to have been driven by a desire to return to her first love: music.

The mother of two is reportedly happiest when making music, and although her bosses at NBC allowed her to incorporate musical elements, such as the popular “Kellyoke” segment, into the show, she ultimately needed to focus fully on what she loves most.

“Kelly asked herself, ‘Do I want to spend the rest of my life doing this?’ She wants to focus on things that she really loves,” said the insider.

“When [Kelly leaves the show], she can split her time between live performances and her merchandising deals and take a step back,” the source added, referencing Clarkson’s residency and her venture into furniture and decor.

The singer is also expected to appear on season 29 of “The Voice,” which premieres February 23.

Despite her celebrity status, Clarkson has seemingly remained single since her divorce from Blackstock.

While she has admitted that dating is “very difficult,” one source claims the singer is now ready to step back into the dating scene.

“Kelly would love to have a partner, and she will when the time is right,” the insider noted. “She has so much on her shoulders, and it does get overwhelming, and it’s nice to have someone to lean on. But I can’t imagine her bringing someone into their lives right now.”

Her ideal partner is said to be someone who understands her hectic lifestyle and can bring a sense of “lightness” back into her life. However, she is unlikely to ever marry again, as her divorce from Blackstock took too great an emotional toll on her.

“Kelly jokes she never wanted to get married the first time around,” says the source. “And she’s pretty open about how badly her divorce affected her.”

Without the burden of being required to appear every weekday on stage for “The Kelly Clarkson Show,” the singer will have more time and emotional space to fully grieve the loss of her ex.

While it remains unclear what this period of grieving will ultimately involve, it is certain that her journey will be deeply personal and unique to her.

“I do think a lot of people deal with grief in such a different way, but I love that you say, ‘Grief is the great teacher of what matters most,’” Clarkson told Lionel Richie during his appearance on her show last year to promote his book.

She then added, “And I think, no matter how you deal with grief, it is very different for everyone. But I do find that very, very true.”
