Kelly Clarkson Returns to Vegas Residency With Onstage Engagement and Vow Renewal

The Nov. 7 show marked her first full performance since Brandon Blackstock’s August death.

Overview

  • Clarkson took the stage at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace on Nov. 7 for her first full Studio Sessions concert since her ex-husband’s passing.
  • She paused the show to support a front-row proposal, urging the moment along with "speak louder" and the playful nudge "Say yes, bitch."
  • Later, she read vows for a couple celebrating 10 years of marriage, joking that if Blake Shelton can officiate, "they’ll let anyone do it," and encouraged them to "aim high" for decades more.
  • She had postponed August residency dates to be present for her children while Blackstock, 48, faced cancer; his death certificate cites skin cancer with seizures as contributing conditions.
  • The residency continues Nov. 8, 14 and 15, with more Las Vegas dates slated for July–August 2026; following his death she also canceled a Texas benefit and missed one The Voice episode, covered by Jennifer Hudson.
