Overview

• Kelly Clarkson delayed her initial July 4 opening shows hours before curtain to protect her voice and offered onstage apologies when Studio Sessions finally began on July 11.
• The ‘Studio Sessions’ concept delivers a 22-song set spanning her two-decade catalog with deep-cut introductions and a Kellyoke cover of Whitney Houston’s “I Will Always Love You.”
• The residency runs through November at the 4,100-seat Colosseum with 18 shows scheduled across July, August and November and tickets available via Ticketmaster.
• Audiences and critics have praised the stripped-back format for its blend of down-to-earth humor and Clarkson’s powerhouse vocals in an intimate setting.
• Beyond the stage, Clarkson is reinforcing her artistic independence by launching her own record label ahead of an independently released album that kicked off with the single “Where Have You Been.”
