The Since U Been Gone singer took to social media just hours before the opening night to deliver the unexpected news. “I am truly devastated,” Clarkson wrote. “I’ve been so excited to kick off this show with all of you, but I have to protect my voice.”
Sources close to the star revealed that Kelly has been battling severe vocal strain during rehearsals and was advised by her doctors to rest or risk long-term damage. This decision, while incredibly difficult for the Grammy-winning powerhouse, was made to ensure she can continue performing at her best in the long run.
Fans who traveled to Vegas were understandably upset, but most took to social media to flood it with messages of support. “Your health comes first,” one fan commented. “We’ll wait as long as it takes.”
The new residency dates are expected to be announced soon, and ticket holders will be given options for rescheduling or refunds. Team Clarkson promised that once the show returns, it will be “bigger and better than ever.”
Kelly Clarkson’s Vegas residency was set to feature a mix of her greatest hits, fan favorites, and some emotional new tracks — a show tailored for her most loyal supporters. While this delay is disappointing, it’s clear the singer is making the tough choice to prioritize longevity over a moment.
