As some of you may know, Katy Perry’s last season as a judge on ‘American Idol‘ came to an end last month. It was an emotional goodbye for the singer, who had worked as a judge on the show since 2018.
People have been speculating on who might replace her, and one of the top choices? Former ‘Idol’ winner, Kelly Clarkson.
But during a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight, Clarkson revealed she can’t take the position because it’d force her to be away from her kids.
No. No. I can’t do that, only because I promised my kids. I was like, ‘I wanna be there as much as I possibly can.’ And it would put me in L.A.
If you didn’t know, Clarkson is currently living in New York. That’s where she hosts her daytime talk show, which is currently preparing for its fifth season.
That’s why she had to quit judging on ‘The Voice’ because it’s filmed in Los Angeles. She’s much happier now that she has just the one job.
I feel like a weight has lifted. That move was very needed. I think the thing I’m most excited about with season 5, on a selfish level, is just showing up to work smiling and actually meaning it. That’s a beautiful gift that you don’t realize until you’re out of it.
Nice to see she’s putting her kids (and her happiness) first! More power to her!
