‘Kelly Clarkson Show’ Fans, the Show Is Changing Things in a Major Way for Season 7
The NBC series is back—but there are some key differences viewers will want to look out for.

The Kelly Clarkson Show officially aired the season 7 premiere on NBC on September 29.
Executive producer Alex Duda and music director Jason Halbert teased what’s to come on The Kelly Clarkson Show season 7.
In addition to new segments, Kelly is going to new musical heights with “Kellyoke” covers she’s never sung before.
The Kelly Clarkson Show is back on the air for season 7, and folks are ecstatic to see Kelly Clarkson return to their TV screens. But it looks like there are some changes coming our way this season—and some major players are keeping us updated on what to expect.
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly that was published on September 29, Kelly’s music director Jason Halbert and executive producer Alex Duda broke down some new things viewers will see on The Kelly Clarkson Show. While folks will still get the chance to see popular segments like “Kellyoke,” Alex teased two new segments will be coming our way, titled “Life Well Lit” and “Celebs With Skills.”
“When things are tough, [it’s that] Mister Rogers saying: ‘You look for the helpers.’ And that’s what we always try to do,” Alex told the outlet. “So, that’s why our premiere this year was just about going back to that and finding the light. And [Kelly’s] always said that since the beginning of the show that that helps her, and I think, hopefully, it helps the viewers, too.”

But that’s not all they had to say about season 7!
Jason also made sure to bring things back around to “Kellyoke” in the interview, as he and Kelly’s house band, Y’all, are a major part of the popular segment. He revealed while Kelly will certainly play some of today’s biggest hits (Jason teased some Maren Morris is in the musical queue), it turns out she’s also going places she’s never gone before with her covers this season.
“I think we’re doing Queen for the first time ever,” Jason stated, confirming Kelly will sing “Another Bites the Dust” at some point. “I don’t think we’ve done another Queen song, so that’s gonna be fun.”
It’s been hard to find [songs] that haven’t been covered by so many other artists,” he added. “We either spotlight a new artist or, if we’re gonna do a huge hit, we try to make sure that we’re adding something to it.”
How fun!
