Kelly Clarkson misses show due to family emergency

Kelly Clarkson has been absent from her show for over a week due to what has been described as a "sudden family emergency." Sources say the singer is not sick and is dealing with a situation that does not directly involve her. Fans noticed her absence when guest host Simu Liu stepped in at the last minute. Clarkson last appeared on her show on March 6. Since her departure, a number of guest hosts have filled in for her, including Roy Wood Jr., Wanda Sykes, and Josh Groban. The sudden change has left fans curious about her situation. Clarkson is very close to her mother, Jeanne Taylor. Jeanne, a teacher, raised Kelly after her parents split when Kelly was just six. Kelly has often referred to her mother affectionately as "mama." The two share a strong bond, and Jeanne’s support is important to Kelly during challenging times. Recently, Clarkson shared a post on Instagram promoting her collaboration with the band Rascal Flatts, indicating she is still active in her music career despite her absence from the show.
