Kelly Clarkson announces 'chemistry' Las Vegas residency after revealing new album
A day after announcing that her new album would be called "Chemistry," Kelly Clarkson announced a Las Vegas residency of the same name.
"chemistry...an intimate night with Kelly Clarkson" will kick off July 28 at Bakkt Theater -- formerly Zappos Theater -- at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino.
"I am so excited for these shows and couldn't think of a better place to get back on stage than Las Vegas!" Clarkson said in a statement. "The crowds in Vegas are such an amazing collection of people that simply want to have a great time and that's what we're going to do!"
She added, "So many of my musical idols have had, and still have, incredible residencies on The Strip, and I'm so excited to create my own!"
On Instagram, Clarkson wrote, "It's happening, y'all! 🎶 I'm so excited to announce that I'm finally heading to Las Vegas for 10 shows this summer! I'll be singing all of your favorites... and yes, I'll be singing some new ones, too!"
"chemistry...an intimate night with Kelly Clarkson" has 10 scheduled shows, including July 28 and 29, as well as Aug. 2, 4, 5, 9, 11, 12, 18 and 19.
Clarkson was originally set to play a Vegas residency called "Invincible" in 2020, but that was postponed indefinitely due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The "American Idol" alum and talk show host announced her new album, "Chemistry," on Sunday, saying in a video posted to Instagram that it has been in the works for "close to three years."
"This album is definitely the arc of an entire relationship, and a whole relationship shouldn't be just brought down to one thing," she explained. "So there's the good, the bad, the ugly thing kinda going on in it."
