‘The Voice’ Coach Kelly Clarkson Won Two 2021 Emmy Awards
Kelly Clarkson is a coach on “The Voice,” and she also hosts her own daytime talk show called “The Kelly Clarkson Show.”

Ariana Grande Joins ‘The Voice’ for Season 21
Season 21 of “The Voice” is now filming with a live studio audience, which is a pivot from the past season.
According to a report by E! Online, Grande and the other coaches shared banter and the interactions were sweet.
“Ariana was so fun and sweet,” a source told the outlet. “She was interacting with the fans so much and was having the cutest moments on and off camera with the coaches. She was so sweet to anyone who came up to her from the production team as well. Ariana and Kelly Clarkson were taking selfies. It was so cute.”
Another source told the outlet that Grande and Shelton were “so funny together.”
During his interview on “The Kelly Clarkson Show,” Jonas warned Grande about one thing when it comes to coaching. When asked if he had any advice, he started out by saying no, but then he added some context.
“No,” he started. “I mean, Ariana – as we all know – is one of the best singers in the game and she’s gonna be an incredible coach.”
He later added, “not to trust any one of you,” referring to Clarkson, Legend, and Shelton, who were all on set with him.
