Kelly Clarkson fans are all atwitter after the missing talk show host returned to social media on Tuesday, March 18.
The “Since U Been Gone” songstress confirmed her return as host of her eponymous talk show on March 18 when she shared a series of snapshots with the scheduled guests for the day’s episode, including Adam Scott and Marc Rebillet.

She wore a brown button-up dress with brass accents and a pair of snakeskin high-heeled boots and smiled giddily alongside each guest with her blonde highlights shining in the studio’s lighting.
Followers were relieved to see her back on their screens, with commenters all saying the same thing: they’re happy to see her again.
“Glad she’s back!❤️,” one wrote, while another celebrated that “The Queen has returned.”
“All is right again 🙌 *breathes a sigh of relief*,” someone else wrote emphatically.
“Siiiiii @kellyclarkson is back yayyyy 🙌🙌,” another said.
Some just left emojis, like a trio of claps: “👏👏👏.”
Others expressed their excitement for the episode to air, with one writing, “I can’t wait. I love you kelly.”
“We can’t wait!!” someone else agreed.
A source confirmed to Parade that the host was back in the studio filming upcoming episodes on Thursday, March 13, though it wasn’t clear until now when those episodes might air.
Fans have been worried since Simu Liu, originally scheduled as March 3’s guest, stepped in to host at the last minute. She returned for the next set of shows on March 4 and 5 but has been absent without explanation since March 6.
There’s no official word yet on what has kept the host away, though TMZ previously reported that she was “completely fine” and out dealing with a personal matter that didn’t directly involve her.
