Kelly Clarkson seems to be everywhere with her own talk show and a slot as one of the coaches on NBC's The Voice, so one may wonder, why does she do it all? Well, the money would probably be tough to turn down (and she seems to love all of her jobs).

With season 20 marking her seventh season on The Voice, only Adam Levine and Blake Shelton have appeared on more episodes than her and according to Screen Rant, Kelly pulls in a whopping $14 million dollars per season in the red chair.

What some people may not know is that right around the time that The Voice started to seek her out as a coach, American Idol was also seeking her to be a judge and The Voice simply won the bidding war by offering her more money, according to Screen Rant.

Clarkson thrives on The Voice as on her seven seasons so far, she has coached three winning contestants. That makes puts her firmly in second place among the coaches. The only one who has chosen more winners is Blake Shelton, who has been on every season of the popular show.

Nancy Brooks has been working in the country music industry for almost 30 years. She has interviewed pretty much any country star you can think of. In the late 1990s, she started working with Dolly Parton. And yes, Nancy reports that Parton is as sweet as you would think. She loves her life in country music and has been backstage at every CMA Awards show since the late 1990s. Many of her stories are from her one-on-one interviews. She was there at the beginning of the incredible careers of many music superstars today, including Taylor Swift, Shania Twain, and Blake Shelton, and has interviewed them multiple times throughout the years.
