Kelly Clarkson concert chronology

Chemistry: An Intimate Evening with Kelly Clarkson is the first concert residency by American pop recording artist Kelly Clarkson, performed at the Bakkt Theater in Las Vegas. The first run of shows ran for ten dates from July 28 to August 19, 2023, in support of her tenth studio album Chemistry . This came after her planned 2020 Invincible residency was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The residency was promoted by Live Nation.

Contents

Background

In 2019, Clarkson announced a concert residency for 2020 but it was cancelled due the COVID-19 pandemic. [1] Following the announcement of her tenth studio album Chemistry , in March 2023, Clarkson announced a brand new Las Vegas residency called, Chemistry: An Intimate Evening with Kelly Clarkson. Due to her busy schedule, Clarkson told her label that she could only commit to ten shows. [2] In October 2023, four additional dates were added to residency, December 30–31, 2023, and February 9–10, 2024. [3]

Unlike her originally planned residency, which was supposed to be big with production, this was more intimate, with the show and set list being different each night. [4]

Critical reception

Matt Bailey of The Music Universe attended the August 11, show and said, "There was no pomp, but it made the circumstances all the more special. No costume changes, no trapdoors. No gimmicks. Just the most powerful vocalist of a generation giving it all. And I suspect, despite her TV role, after this dry run, this is not the last we will see of Kelly Clarkson on a live stage." [5]
