The star recently made an appearance on The Chart Show with Brooke Reese to discuss everything going on in her life as of late, from her new covers EP, Kellyoke, to new music, and how she has handled her divorce.

It didn't take long for her to be asked when fans could expect new music, to which she explained that though she wants nothing more than to release original work, the last two years haven't made it easy.
"Everybody knows the huge divorce I went through and it's been like two years and not easy with kids," she said.
Detailing how much her life has changed and how different her approach to music and her career is now, she said: "Especially that makes it just a whole different dynamic."

For now, however, the mom-of-two will be enjoying her first summer off in nearly twenty years, taking a well-deserved break from The Kelly Clarkson Show, before it returns for season four and takes over The Ellen DeGeneres Show's former spot.
