Kelly Clarkson is moving to America’s Got Talent!

The 38-year-old, country star, will be substituting Simon Cowell this week on the NBC talent show as he recovers from back surgery.

Kelly will accompany fellow judges Howie Mandel, Heidi Klum, and Sofia Vergara on the panel for the live shows on Tuesday and Wednesday (August 11 & 12).

“My friend, Simon Cowell, is doing better now but was in an accident and won’t be able to make Tuesday and Wednesday’s live shows for AGT,” Kelly shared in a statement via TV Line. “But no worries America, someone far wiser, cooler, and hotter is taking his seat! The unbelievably amazing Kelly Clarkson. You’re welcome in advance!”

Simon broke his back over the weekend after falling off his new electric bike while taking it for a ride around his courtyard at his Malibu home. He was then rushed to the hospital where he underwent a nearly six-hour surgery.

Simon recently thanked fans for their love and support as he recovers. We wish Kelly Clarkson good luck for filling in for Simon!
