Ahead of his own swan song season as a coach on “The Voice,” Blake Shelton is delving into the nitty-gritty of why he’s leaving the show, calling out fellow coach Kelly Clarkson for getting him fired.
“Kelly finally got me fired. I wanted to announce that here on the show, that Kelly Clarkson actually got me fired,” Shelton joked with Jimmy Kimmel on his late-night program.
“NBC stands for ‘Nothing But Clarkson,’ I’ve found, because she’s on every late night show, she’s got the daytime show, she’s gonna have one of these soon,” Shelton lamented.
A four-time winner of the competition show, Clarkson hosts her own day-time talk show “The Kelly Clarkson Show,” also on NBC.
“She’ll probably have this one,” Kimmel joked back with Shelton.
“Probably so,” Shelton agreed.
He also took a shot at Clarkson in a separate part of the interview, saying the talented singer “didn’t make it in country music.”
“You’re not crap in country music unless you have your own bulldozer,” he admitted to Kimmel, sharing that someone like Willie Nelson certainly owns a bulldozer.
“You really haven’t made it. You’re not over the hump,” the 46-year-old singer explained, “So I bought a bulldozer,” he added of a big purchase he made when he saw success in the country music industry.
When asked if Clarkson has a bulldozer, that’s when he chirped back, “She didn’t make it in country music. She’s a pop-star,” claiming she drives a “nice electric vehicle.”
