Announcements

[edit]

On February 6, 2025, Clarkson announced on her talk show she would return to the Las Vegas Strip for another residency,[1] following her 2023 to 2024 run at the Bakkt Theater. Titled Kelly Clarkson: Studio Sessions – The Las Vegas Residency, the show will bring the "stage to the studio," as suggested by Clarkson.[2][3][4] Following her announcement, Live Nation published eighteen dates from July to November 2025, to be hosted at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Paradise, Nevada.[5][6] Following the announcement, Clarkson released her first independent single, "Where Have You Been" on her own record label, High Road Records.[7]

In the hours prior to the show's July 4 commencement, Clarkson announced she had postponed the first two concerts as a preventative measure to protect her voice.[8][9] In response, Caesars Palace announced ticketholders could either request a refund or await to-be-determined rescheduled dates.[10][11][12]

Production

[edit]

In June 2025, Clarkson alluded to the inclusion of Dolly Parton in her set list via social media; in response, Parton herself suggested she perform "I Will Always Love You", stating: "I think you do one of the best versions of that song that I have ever heard... Whitney and I would both be proud".[13] Clarkson previously performed the song, in tribute to Parton, at the 57th Academy of Country Music Awards.[14] Genevie Durano of Las Vegas Magazine suggested several songs from the singer's catalog, including "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)" and "Since U Been Gone", could be included in the set. They further reported on the behind-the-scenes look of Clarkson's music to be included during the show.[15]
