The star moved “The Kelly Clarkson Show” to New York after a divorce and years of unhappiness in L.A. “This will be the first season I’m not incredibly sad deep inside,” she says.
“Is there an audition going on?” a woman asks in the lobby of 30 Rock, the iconic New York City building where shows likefilm. It’s not an outrageous assumption. A line of nearly 200 men and women, most in crisp black suits with blindingly white shirts, is snaking down the hallway to the Grand Staircase.
In an interview with The Daily Beast’s Obsessed before the taping, Clarkson says the choice to kick off the season with “I Won’t Give Up” is a poignant and, she hopes, powerful one. “There’s this new, fresh start,” she says. It’s a new season in a new city for a show that had its first season interrupted by a pandemic. Its entire aesthetic and schedule had to be reconfigured to adapt, with Clarkson at one point even hosting remotely from her ranch in Montana.
That Clarkson was having a rough time in Los Angeles was a surprise to those who worked closely with her, and they supported her. She was surprised by how quickly NBC did, too. “I think they were afraid I was gonna be like, ‘I want to shoot this in Montana’—which I would love to do, actually, but I didn’t think that was an option,” she says laughing. “So I said, ‘Can we try New York? Because I don’t know that I can stay here anymore, for my family, for me.
