Just half an hour ago, NBC announced that Grammy-winning artist Kelly Clarkson will officially join The Voice as a full-time coach for its upcoming 25th season. The news broke during a live press event in New York, where Clarkson appeared alongside current judges John Legend and Chance the Rapper, grinning as she confirmed the rumors that had swirled for weeks. Clarkson, who previously served as a coach on The Voice from 2018 to 2023 before stepping away to focus on The Kelly Clarkson Show, expressed her excitement about returning to the iconic red chairs. “This show changed my life in so many ways, and I can’t wait to help discover the next generation of talent,” she told the crowd.
