The performer, 42, who received a Daytime Emmy Award on June 7 for outstanding daytime talk series for The Kelly Clarkson Show, thanked the network for relocating the show from Los Angeles to New York after season 4 — a move spurred by Clarkson, who sought a fresh start after finalizing her divorce from ex-husband Brandon Blackstock. The pair split in 2020. “It's important to say that not everybody really thinks about what's going on behind the scenes," she said on stage. "The fact that NBC, a huge company, took time and listened when I said, ‘Hey, my life is not going super great. I don't know if I can live here anymore. I don't know if I can do this.'" “They really wrapped their arms around us, and they helped us move … The move has been so great, not just for me and my family, but our whole show,” she continued. "It takes a lot of time and money and effort to do that — it is not unnoticed. I just want to say ‘Thank You’ for thinking of mental health as a product.” Jennifer Hudson Shines in a Plunging Glittering Gown at the 2024 Daytime Emmys Garth Brooks and Kelly Clarkson on 'The Kelly Clarkson Show.'.

During an interview with USA Today in October 2023, the Grammy-winning singer admitted she had doubts about leaving L.A. “I’ll be real honest: I thought I was making a horrible decision,” Clarkson told the outlet. “I knew I needed a fresh start and couldn’t be in L.A. I really wanted to be in Montana, but you can’t really do a show from there quite yet. So I was like, ‘The only other option would probably be New York.’” But the move has been good for Clarkson, who proclaimed after just a few weeks in her new city: “I genuinely love it, and I love that my kids love it.” Never miss a story — sign up for PEOPLE's free daily newsletter to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories.
