Kelly Clarkson returns as coach on 'The Voice' season 30
Washington DC, May 8
Singer and television personality Kelly Clarkson is set to return as a coach on season 30 of 'The Voice', marking her comeback to the competition show after three years, according to E! News.
Broadcaster NBC announced Clarkson's return through the show's official social media accounts.
'The Voice' is an American singing reality competition television series that premiered on NBC on April 26, 2011.
"Team Kelly has RE-entered the chat," the official The Voice account posted alongside a video compilation of Clarkson's memorable moments from the series.
"Kelly Clarkson returns as a Coach this fall on The Voice!" the post added
Another post welcomed the singer back to the judging panel, where she will join fellow coach Adam Levine for the upcoming season.
"Please give a warm welcome back to Coach Kelly Clarkson!" the post read.
Clarkson last appeared as a regular coach on the show in 2023 alongside Blake Shelton, Niall Horan and Chance the Rapper.
Although she has not coached a regular season in recent years, Clarkson did participate in season 29, titled The Voice: Battle Of Champions, alongside Levine and John Legend.
The special edition season, which premiered on February 23, featured several new twists, including a Triple Turn Competition and Super Steals, along with guest appearances from artists such as CeeLo Green.
Following Team Adam's victory in Battle Of Champions, Levine also confirmed he would return for season 30.
"I will be back," Levine told People magazine in April.
"I'm having so much fun doing it. Since I came back a few seasons ago, it's just been a blast, and I'm super happy to keep it going as long as they'll have me," he added, according to E! News.
Levine, one of the original coaches from season one, has appeared across 18 seasons of the show. Clarkson, meanwhile, has served as a coach 10 times and remains tied with Levine in total season wins.
Clarkson's return to The Voice comes after she announced the end of The Kelly Clarkson Show earlier this year.
"There have been so many amazing moments and shows over these seven seasons," Clarkson wrote on Instagram on February 2.
She added that she was "forever grateful and honored to have worked alongside the greatest band and crew," according to E! News.

I used to watch The Voice occasionally but lost interest after Blake Shelton left. Kelly's return might bring back some magic. Let's see if she can match her previous wins. 🎤
Honestly, I'm not too excited. The show has become too formulaic and gimmicky. The Battle of Champions special season was okay but not groundbreaking. Still, Kelly is a solid choice for coach.
Nice to see her back. But I wish they would bring more diversity to the panel. Why not include an Indian coach? We have amazing singers like Shreya Ghoshal or A.R. Rahman who could judge! Just saying... 🇮🇳
Good for her after ending her talk show. The Voice is where she really shines. I remember her first season win - she has an amazing ear for talent. Hope she discovers some great singers this time. 👏
Honestly, the show is getting repetitive. Same coaches coming and going, same format. Kelly is nice but I hope they introduce some new twists to keep it fresh. Still, I'll watch for her witty comments 😄
Kelly Clarkson is a powerhouse vocalist and she brings real mentorship to contestants. Much better than some of the newer coaches.
