Season 7 of The Kelly Clarkson Show has officially kicked off, promising fans a fresh lineup of “Kellyoke” song covers along with exciting new segments. Music director Jason Halbert shared insights into the upcoming season, revealing that Clarkson will deliver renditions of several iconic tracks.
One song to look forward to is “Carry It Well” by Sam Fischer, which Halbert believes will resonate deeply with viewers. Additionally, he mentioned that Clarkson would pay tribute to Whitney Houston, a fan-favorite, alongside a debut performance of a Queen classic — “Another One Bites the Dust.” Halbert noted the challenges in selecting songs that remain unique, particularly for timeless hits, and is eager for audiences to hear Clarkson’s take on these beloved tracks.
Season 7 will also spotlight several songs by Maren Morris, aligning with her recent album release, Dreamsicle. “It’s exciting to see Kelly engaging with new music, especially from artists who are making waves today,” Halbert remarked.
Beyond music, executive producer Alex Duda hinted at new segments aimed at uplifting viewers. “Life Well Lit,” debuting on September 30, focuses on spreading joy, featuring heartwarming stories such as a woman promoting retro mall-walking in ’80s attire as a community-building initiative. Another segment, “Celebs With Skills,” will showcase celebrities’ unique talents, starting with Nick Offerman teaching Clarkson and kids about woodworking.
This season promises an array of star-studded guests, including Dwayne Johnson, Emily Blunt, Matthew McConaughey, and Julia Roberts, adding to the anticipation surrounding the show.
The Season 7 premiere not only marks a new chapter for The Kelly Clarkson Show but also Clarkson’s return following a personal loss. While she did not address the recent passing of her ex-husband, Brandon Blackstock, during the episode, her presence is a poignant reminder of resilience.
With new and inspiring content lined up, The Kelly Clarkson Show continues to be a beacon of entertainment and hope, allowing audiences to connect through music and positive storytelling.
