'The Voice' Shares Promotional Videos For Season 29

After a few months of getting viewers excited, a new season of the hit singing competition series is finally right around the corner, with the first episode of season 29 premiering this coming Monday.

 

One of the parts of the series fans are looking forward to is the return of the "Behind These Hazel Eyes" singer as a coach and mentor. Once she joined the show in 2018 for its 14th season, anytime she's on, she becomes a fan-favorite and even has some wins under her belt. Now, she's gearing up for season 29 alongside coaches John Legend and Adam Levine.

 

In a promotional video for the new season, Kelly opened up about some of her goals for it and a few fun music-related facts. Some of which included her goal to win by "being herself," her dream duet partner being Bonnie Raitt, and more.

 

"Kelly Clarkson came prepared," they wrote in their Instagram caption.

Fans React To Kelly's Return To 'The Voice' After She Announced She's Leaving 'The Kelly Clarkson Show'

The timing of the new Voice season is great for fans of the mom-of-two, who, just a few weeks ago, revealed that the current season of her hit daytime talk show, The Kelly Clarkson Show, would be her last.

 

Last year, fans noticed that the famous host was increasingly absent from her show, taking what seemed like spontaneous breaks, when in reality, she was spending time with her family, as her ex-husband and the father of her children, Brandon Blackstock, was sick with cancer. After he passed in August, it only took a few months for her to confirm she'd leave the show after seven successful seasons to "prioritize her kids."

 

Therefore, when her fans caught a glimpse of how excited she was for the new season of The Voice, they left comments about how they were "so excited" to see that she'd be back in action and on their screens for a while.

 

"My girl is back!" wrote a fan on Instagram.

 

"Always and forever gonna be on team Kelly, she's got the best vocals ever!" added another.

 

"The queen is back!" commented a user with heart emojis.

 

"Glad you are back!" wrote another. "Wishing you a wonderful season and much happiness for your family and your new adventure."
