Kelly Clarkson Pumps Up Las Vegas Residency Schedule After Emotional Hiatus
In a move that's being hailed as a welcome return to live performance, multi-platinum singer-songwriter Kelly Clarkson has announced an extension of her highly anticipated "Studio Sessions" residency at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. The updated schedule includes four new summer 2026 dates, marking the beginning of a busy run that will see her perform behind the microphone for several more months.
The extended schedule was unveiled ahead of Clarkson's highly-anticipated return to Las Vegas on November 7, following an emotional hiatus since her ex-husband Brandon Blackstock's passing in August. The singer had initially postponed several shows earlier this year due to vocal strain, and then cancelled further performances when news broke that her late husband was unwell.
Since Blackstock's death from melanoma-related complications, Clarkson has kept a relatively low profile, but has steadily returned to the public eye, showcasing her signature voice on her daytime talk show. Now, fans can look forward to an expanded schedule of live shows at the Colosseum, featuring some previously announced dates and new additions for August.
Tickets for the newly announced dates will go on sale November 7 at 10 a.m. PT, with a limited-time presale set for November 5 at the same time. Clarkson's fans can expect an unforgettable night of music from one of America's most beloved singers, as she takes to the stage for her return performance series, "Studio Sessions."

I'm so happy Kelly Clarkson is back on stage! Her hiatus was so sad 
and I was worried we'd never see her live again. Four new dates in 2026? Fingers crossed she can keep that up 
. I love how she's been keeping herself busy with TV appearances, though - it's clear she's taking care of herself after everything went down 
. Can't wait to see what her "Studio Sessions" residency has in store for us... and omg the Colosseum at Caesars Palace is going to be electric 
! Tickets are selling fast, hope fans can get theirs!
. fans are gonna be glued to her mic again, i get it, but are they really ready for the emotional rollercoaster after everything she went through? like, didn't we just see her on tv grieving her hubby? shouldn't she have some more time to process that before jumping back into a packed schedule? 
still, i guess it's good for the fans and all... will be interesting to see how she does live.
! I mean, it's been a tough few months for her after losing her husband, but it's amazing to see her getting back on stage and entertaining us with her incredible voice 
. The fact that she's coming back sooner than expected is just fantastic news for her fans who have been patiently waiting 
.
. And with the new summer 2026 dates added to the schedule, we're in for an even more epic show than before 
! Clarkson's "Studio Sessions" residency has always promised something special, but now it's looking like she's going to deliver an unforgettable experience that will leave us all singing along at the top of our lungs 
. Bring on November 7 and get ready for Kelly Clarkson to slay the stage again 
glad she's back and with a bigger schedule now! i know how much her fans love her live performances and it's great that she's giving us more of that 
also feels like a good comeback for the queen after that tough time 
can't wait to see what new music she drops soon too!
i couldn't be happier! she's such an talented singer and songwriter, and can't wait to see what she'll bring to the stage this time around. i've always loved her music, and it's great to know that fans will get to enjoy even more of it in 2026 
I mean, she's been through some tough stuff with Brandon's passing and vocal strain, but it's amazing how music has always been her escape. Can't wait for those new dates in Aug 2026 - my fave summer vibes are guaranteed 
! Ticket sales start Nov 7th, so mark that calendar ASAP 
...
is she gonna perform any of her oldies or just stick to her newer stuff?
it's been a tough year for her with her ex-husband passing away but she's come out stronger. 
. Can't wait to grab tix on those presale tickets, anyone else getting in line? 
like i was worried she'd be stuck on that emotional hiatus forever. can't blame her tho, losing someone close is never easy. anyway, now we get to see her slay the stage with her epic vocals... and a whole lot of sass 
guess what I did the next day? baked more cakes lol anyway, kelly clarkson sounds like she needs some good vibes after everything went down
