Okay so picture this: You’re in Vegas. You’ve got a slushy the size of a toddler in one hand and crippling emotional baggage in the other. You’re ready to scream-sing “Since U Been Gone” in public like it’s 2005 and you just found out your middle school crush likes your bestie. But—BAM—Kelly Clarkson cancels the show. Why? Because her vocal cords said “nope” and peaced out for the Fourth of July weekend. Honestly, relatable.
BUT GUESS WHAT?
Mama Kelz finally launched her Studio Sessions Vegas residency on July 11 at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace, and yes, it was more dramatic than your ex’s apology text at 2am. 🎲✨
And in classic Kelly fashion, she said “one show? BORING.” So she went full-blown Kellyoke mode and turned every performance into a musical rollercoaster where she could, at any moment, hit you with a high note or your childhood trauma.
She’s doing 15 more shows (yes FIFTEEN), sprinkled across July, August, and November like confetti in a girlboss hurricane. No word yet if the canceled ones will be rescheduled, but fingers crossed her voice gets the rest it deserves (maybe with a throat massage from a Caesar Palace spa boy idk 👀).
🎟️ TICKETS? Still barely hanging on for dear life. Check Ticketmaster for crumbs or sell your soul on Stubhub/Vivid Seats.
Now let’s get into the SETLIST aka an emotional buffet:
🎶 KELLY’S CHAOTICALLY ICONIC SETLIST (Subject to change depending on vibes, moon phases, and hydration levels):
1. Me – introvert anthem? therapist bait? both.
2. Walk Away – walk, RUN.
3. Heat – it’s Vegas. Enough said.
4. Dance With Me – grab a stranger and twirl.
5. Behind These Hazel Eyes – crying in HD.
6. Heartbeat Song – your Fitbit could never.
7. Breakaway – middle school graduation unlocked.
8. Didn’t I – spoiler: she did.
9. Because of You – no notes, just sobbing.
10. Mine – possessive but make it poetic.
11. Catch My Breath – oxygen? optional.
12. Beautiful Disaster – a love letter to your situationship.
13. Piece by Piece – bring tissues, and a blanket, and an emotional support duck.
14. Miss Independent – legally obligated to do a hair flip here.
15. Sober – but emotionally? Blacked out.

17. My Life Would Suck Without You – it really would, Kelly.
18. Tightrope – circus metaphors but make it deep.
19. Stronger (What Doesn’t Kill You) – the gym anthem you pretend you don’t cry to.
20. ENCORE: Where Have You Been – Kelly channeling her inner Rihanna. We are not okay.
21. ENCORE: Kellyoke Moment – she covered Dolly Parton’s “I Will Always Love You” and the crowd saw God.
22. ENCORE: Since U Been Gone – and then everyone spontaneously combusted from serotonin.
So if you’re not booking a flight to Vegas right now, IDK what to tell you. This show is the spiritual cleanse we all need. And yes, your life will suck without seeing it. ✈️💔🎰
