In the world of music television, some major changes are underway. As of August 19, 2025, Kelly Clarkson has returned to her role as a coach on NBC's hit singing competition show, The Voice, for the upcoming Season 29 titled "Battle of Champions."
Clarkson, a former American Idol contestant and Voice coach, had missed one shoot for the show's battle rounds following the recent death of her former husband and father of her children, Brandon Blackstock. However, sources confirm that Clarkson is now back on set, reunited with fellow winning coaches Adam Levine and John Legend.
Alongside Clarkson's return, NBC is also preparing for a major shift in the music awards landscape. The network has secured a 5-year deal to keep the American Music Awards airing on CBS, as the Grammys are set to depart the network.
In addition to the "Battle of Champions" cycle, NBC is also filming Season 28 of The Voice, which will feature a star-studded lineup of coaches including Michael Bublé, Reba McEntire, Niall Horan, and Snoop Dogg. Despite the recent loss of Blackstock, who was McEntire's stepson, sources confirm that the country music icon is fulfilling her obligations for the upcoming season.
