Kelly Clarkson got an early Christmas present this season by scoring a big win at the 50th Daytime Emmy Awards on Friday.
The 41-year-old singer/entertainer took home two of the big trophies when she took home Outstanding Daytime Talk Series Host and Outstanding Daytime Talk Series for her work on The Kelly Clarkson Show.
Her show beat out returning nominees The Drew Barrymore Show, Live With Kelly and Ryan and Today With Hoda and Jenna, as well as first-time nominee The Jennifer Hudson Show.
The wins give Kelly a total of seven Daytime Emmys over the first four seasons of her series.
Although she was not present to accept the awards at the event at the Westin Bonaventure Hotel in Los Angeles, she did bring her Instagram to respond to the news.

“I'm so proud of my entire team for our wins tonight!! Thank you to everyone who started this show with us and to everyone who joined us this season!” she wrote.
“Thank you to all the guests and fans who take time out of their lives and schedules to come hang out with us! We are beyond blessed and grateful and so thankful for our new family and friends at 30 Rock who have been so supportive of our new home,” she added, referring to the show's recent move from LA to New York City.
The multi-hyphenate American Idol winner also has three Grammys to her name and is looking to add a fourth at the upcoming ceremony on February 4.
She is nominated for best pop vocal album for Chemistry.
She currently shares the lead with Adele, who both have two wins in this category.
At the Daytime Emmy Awards, Kelly's show also shared the spotlight with Susan Lucci, who received the Lifetime Achievement Award.
Shemar Moore presented Lucci with the Lifetime Achievement Honor.
The actor famously presented the actress with her first Daytime Emmy Award in 1999, after being nominated 19 times for playing Erica Kane on All My Children.

Moore hilariously exclaimed, “The streak is over!” after opening the envelope and seeing Lucci's name.
“I am truly humbled to receive this esteemed award from the Academy,” Lucci said in a recent statement upon hearing the news of her Lifetime Achievement Award.
“Throughout my career, I have been incredibly fortunate to work with exceptional talent and be embraced by my fans who have supported me every step of the way.”
The event – which was hosted by Kevin Frazier and Nischelle Turner – was postponed for six months due to the writers' and actors' strike earlier this year.
