Kelly Clarkson marked the milestone of her talk show’s 1,000th episode with an emotional speech and a brief recap of its significant moments and challenges. On Thursday, March 20, during The Kelly Clarkson Show, she shared reminiscent stories while clips from the past six years were displayed on a screen behind her.

She stated, “We’ve shared laughter, tears, read captivating tales, sang harmoniously with others, danced in unity, celebrated triumphs, and even faced challenges side by side.” However, Clarkson admitted, “I’ve endured many losses, feeling isolated.

Initially, I wasn’t sure about the intended meaning of that remark, but it elicited a cautious chuckle from the crowd nonetheless. Immediately after, I felt a need to allay their concerns with a quick reassurance: “Don’t worry.” Then, I resumed my talk, expressing my admiration for the platform we were graced by – the talk show itself.

She acknowledged and appreciated her team for their assistance, underscoring how they’d provided solace in times of need. She voiced her thanks for the bond they’d formed, a bond that had seen them through numerous hardships, such as the COVID-19 pandemic experienced in 2019.

Clarkson swiftly inserted, “There have been many highs and lows in my personal life too,” prior to delving further into her speech. She then guided the audience through the significant accomplishments that the show had garnered during its duration.

The winner of American Idol subtly alluded to her personal difficulties following a recent, enigmatic break from the spotlight that lasted for several weeks.
