'The Kelly Clarkson Show' Announces a Major Change for New Season

Kelly Clarkson is picking up things and moving across the country!

After nearly four years of filming her talk show, The Kelly Clarkson Show, at the Universal City lot in Los Angeles, Calif., the 41-year-old singer is moving to the Big Apple.

That's right, Clarkson is moving to New York City!

An NBCUniversal spokesperson confirmed the news to Entertainment Tonight, sharing that she will be relocating to the East Coast city this fall, where she will be filming out of NBC Studios in Manhattan's 30 Rockefeller Center inside Studio 6A with a live studio audience.

“She’s ready for the move and excited for a new change,” a source told the outlet.

Variety first confirmed the news, stating that a new "state-of-the-art" studio–which previously was home to big names such as Jimmy Fallon, Conan O'Brien, and David Letterman–will be built for The Kelly Clarkson Show, as well as a technical facility and support space.

The show's big move comes just after the expansion of New York's Film Tax Credit, which was recently signed into law by Governor Kathy Hochul in the fiscal year 2024 budget. With the program's expansion, the state will provide incentives for eligible television productions relocating to New York and cut down the eligibility requirements for talk and variety shows from five years of filming to two years. The show, which is currently in its fourth season, got renewed last November until 2025.

And the move makes so much sense as The Kelly Clarkson Show has opened up its last two seasons in New York City. Not only that, but Clarkson has let it be known that she had dreams of living in New York City one day to work on her Broadway career.

"I have dreams of maybe Broadway one day. And I have different dreams I’ve had since I was a kid," Clarkson told Variety in 2022. "I don’t know how it’s all going to pan out. I could do the show for years if we’re lucky enough to have the legacy that these other people have. But at the same time, that doesn’t mean I can’t do Broadway in a summer. That doesn’t mean I can’t have that gypsy mentality and change it up."

And while her city-living dreams are coming true, maybe that means Broadway is in the near future for the American Idol alum!
