Could Kelly Clarkson be the next Oprah? The very first American Idol winner just might be. Clarkson’s brand-new talk show premiered September 9, and she’s hoping to win viewers over with her perky personality and feel-good vibe.

 “I wanted a place that was fun, joyful, had a lot of heart,” she told USA Today. And expect some music too. Each show will open with a musical number — a treat for the roughly 200 people in the studio audience. 

Want to hear Clarkson belt out a song in person or see her interview celebrity guests? Here’s how you can score tickets to The Kelly Clarkson Show.
