Kelly Clarkson is returning to “The Voice” for Season 30.
She joins fellow judge Adam Levine, who sat on the panel alongside Clarkson in Season 29.
The “Stronger” hitmaker, talk show host and original “American Idol” winner first appeared on the blind audition singing competition as an adviser in Season 2 before joining as a judge in Season 14. Clarkson’s tenure on “The Voice” has been on and off since 2018, but she returned last year alongside Levine and John Legend.
Season 30 marks Clarkson’s 11th season as a judge. It is unclear whether Legend will return when the show comes back to NBC in the fall.
NBC announced Clarkson was coming back with a post on social media. “Team Kelly has RE-entered the chat. Kelly Clarkson returns as a Coach this fall on The Voice!” reads the caption, posted alongside a video montage of Clarkson’s moments on the competition series.
“The Voice” launched in 2011 with judges Levine, CeeLo Green, Christina Aguilera and Blake Shelton. Since then, A-list singers such as Shakira, Usher, Miley Cyrus, Ariana Grande and more have joined the judges’ panel. One season even featured Clarkson alongside fellow “American Idol” alum Jennifer Hudson.
Clarkson has won “The Voice” four times as a coach, which means she drafted and mentored the victors of Seasons 14 (Brynn Cartelli), 15 (Chevel Shepherd), 17 (Jake Hoot) and 21 (Girl Named Tom). That makes Clarkson the female coach with the most winning contestants.
Clarkson is also the host of the daytime talk program “The Kelly Clarkson Show,” which is set to end after its seventh season this year.
