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.

In addition to Kelly Clarkson’s performance, fans got appearances from various The Voice alums. This included season 24 winner Huntley, season 25 winner Asher HaVon, and former coaches Dan + Shay.

Rising star Myles Smith also performed his breakout hit “Stargazing.” Riley Green and Ella Langley, known for their runaway hit “You Look Like You Love Me,” performed Green’s song “Don’t Mind If I Do.” Additionally, coach Snoop Dogg and Mega Mentor Sting took the stage together to perform their new single, “Another Part of Me.”
Finally, the four coaches will also perform duets with their contestants. This is a staple of The Voice finale when the Top 5 get to show off their skills alongside their adoring coaches.
