Kelly Clarkson stormed back to The Voice stage for the season finale, and within minutes, fans were covered in chills. Dressed in a stunning, plunging black gown that shimmered under the lights, she stood center stage like she owned it—because she did. Her latest single, “Where Have You Been,” wasn’t just a song—it was a full-body experience. Her voice cut through the room like lightning, raw and real, telling a story only she could tell. Every note was loaded with soul, control, and that trademark Clarkson fire. And just when you thought it couldn’t get more powerful—boom—she hit that high note. It wasn’t just phenomenal. It was unforgettable.

With the stage set for the season 27 finale of The Voice, Jadyn Cree, Lucia Flores-Wiseman, Jaelen Johnston, Renzo, and Adam David could do nothing more than wait. While voting ended Tuesday morning, the Top 5 will get one more chance to perform during the season finale. Teaming up with their coach, the remaining contestants hoped to offer fans one last performance before learning their fate. But before Carson Daly revealed the winner, Kelly Clarkson returned to offer a taste of her new song “Where Have You Been.”

For Clarkson, the night was more than a celebration of the Top 5. Looking at the history of the show, the singer coached for nine seasons and ended up winning four of them. Holding the record for the most wins by a female coach, she appeared right at home when she took the stage. But outside of her history with The Voice, she also knew what the contestants were feeling. Winning season one of American Idol, Clarkson was proof to the contestants of what could happen if they won.

Clarkson wasn’t the only former coach to return to The Voice. During the season finale, Alicia Keys, Blake Shelton, and Chance the Rapper all returned. For Shelton, it was his first time back to the stage since 2023. Much like Clarkson, Shelton used the moment to promote his newest album For Recreational Use Only with the song “Texas.”
