  • Ticketmaster has reached out to ticketholders with full refund options or the ability to transfer tickets to the new dates.
  • The residency, which features 18 “studio session”-style performances, is now slated to kick off on July 11 and run through November 15.
  • Social media responses ranged from supportive messages urging Clarkson to rest to criticism over the financial impact of her late-breaking decision.
