Kelly Clarkson returned to The Voice briefly to perform during the season 26 finale, but fans are calling for her to return to her big red chair. She stunned during the finale with her new holiday single “You for Christmas,” which had everyone getting in the holiday mood.

Taking to the elaborate Christmas-themed set, Kelly Clarkson wowed the audience with her signature vocals. Fans on social media praised her voice and her outfit, with one fan noting that she “never disappoints.” Another wrote, “sing the damn song KELLY!” She hit some incredible high notes at the conclusion of the song, earning her a standing ovation.

Some fans on Instagram commented, “Who else [hopes] Kelly will be back on The Voice soon?” while another wrote, “I miss you on the voice.”

Despite fans wanting her back on The Voice, Clarkson most likely will not return in any official capacity. She’s been hosting her successful daytime show since 2019 and celebrated five years of the show this year. Additionally, she’s previously stated that she wouldn’t return as a coach, but seemingly has no qualms about revisiting her old job for a little fun.
