Kelly Clarkson Tears Up After Rita Wilson Shares Appreciation Over Her Impact on Daytime TV

Kelly Clarkson was brought to tears by Rita Wilson’s kind words during a recent episode of “The Kelly Clarkson Show.” On Wednesday, May 27, Wilson appeared as a guest on the Daytime Emmy award winning show and shared how much she appreciates Clarkson’s impact to daytime television as the program nears its end. “I just wanna say one thing before we go. I want to thank you for the years that you’ve been doing your show. I want to thank you for literally changing the game when it came to daytime television. The fact that you love music. That you have brought so much music to daytime,” Wilson said, adding, “That you have shared with us your voice, your gifts, and everyone else’s and your incredible band. I really want to thank you because it has made a big change in my life. So thank you, Kelly.” Cheers erupted from the audience following Wilson’s remarks as the camera panned to Clarkson who appeared visibly emotional and mouthed, “I’m fine!” The two artists then shared a sweet hug as Clarkson noted the comments were “so nice.” “I’m like shut it off! It’s okay,” the “Since U Been Gone” singer added as she sat back down. The Grammy winning artist announced back in February that the talk show would be ending after this season as she prioritizes her children, noting that it “feels necessary and right for this next chapter of our lives.”
