  "account": "Kelly Clarkson concluded her seven-season run on The Kelly Clarkson Show in an emotional final episode, accompanied by her children River and Remington. The show, which received a Daytime Emmy award, concluded with Clarkson performing her own songs \"Since U Been Gone\" and \"Stronger\" alongside KPop Demon Hunters. River and Remington, who were born to Clarkson and the late Brandon Blackstock, shared their favorite moments from the show, including Kellyoke performances and conversations with guests like Jason Momoa. In her closing remarks, Clarkson expressed her gratitude for everyone involved, including the crew and band, and thanked them for the incredible experience. She officially announced her departure from the show in February, citing her desire to prioritize her children as she moves forward. Despite the emotional nature of the finale, Clarkson emphasized that stepping away from the daily schedule would allow her to focus on her family, stating that the decision was both difficult and necessary for her next chapter.",
  "summary": "The entertainer is stepping away from the show after seven seasons -- but not before one last \"Golden\" Kellyoke performance.",
