American Idol has yet to find a replacement for Katy Perry, and fans have been pushing for Kelly Clarkson to fill the role. However, Clarkson revealed at the Daytime Emmy Awards that she can't commit due to wanting to prioritize her children. She shared that her decision to exit The Voice was due to personal struggles, leading her to relocate her family to New York for a better quality of life. Clarkson, the first American Idol winner, emphasized the importance of family time and explained that her children are her top priority. Despite suggestions for other potential replacements, including Meghan Trainor, Clarkson's focus remains on her family and personal happiness. She expressed gratitude to NBC for supporting her decision to move her show, recognizing the importance of work-life balance and putting her children first.
