Kelly Clarkson is opening up to fans about the challenges of balancing multiple jobs.
The Grammy-winning singer, 43, spoke candidly about the difficulty of finding time to tour while juggling motherhood and her daytime talk show, The Kelly Clarkson Show, during a performance at Hard Rock Live at Etess Arena in Atlantic City, NJ, on Friday night, May 9.
“We haven’t done a show in a while, y’all, ’cause I have a talk show. It’s like a whole other job,” the American Idol winner said onstage during the two-night event, according to Page Six.
She continued, “We are bummed ’cause we love doing shows, and it’s hard to fit it in, so it’s cool when it does work out with the schedule, and it’s cool to get to see your faces and feed off y’all. Thank you so much for having so much energy.”
Clarkson also shared that she was “so happy” to be performing her first show in six months. She treated the crowd to a setlist packed with fan favorites, including “Stronger (What Doesn’t Kill You),” “Because of You,” “Breakaway,” “Miss Independent,” and of course, “Since U Been Gone,” per the outlet.
The Kelly Clarkson Show premiered back in 2019 and has earned 22 Daytime Emmy Awards including Outstanding Talk Show Entertainment and Outstanding Talk Show. Clarkson herself has also taken home the award for Outstanding Entertainment Talk Show Host multiple times over the past few years.
The Texas native will have a little bit more on her plate as it was also revealed on Friday that she is set to return to The Voice for the Season 27 finale, airing Tuesday, May 20.
