Kelly Clarkson postponed the opening weekend of her Las Vegas residency, Studio Sessions, due to the toll that grueling rehearsals took on her voice. She expressed her regret and apologized to fans both in a statement and upon returning to the stage on July 11 at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace. Clarkson emphasized the importance of protecting her vocal cords to avoid serious damage and highlighted that this residency is her favorite show because of its intimate studio vibe and connection with musicians. Despite some fans' disappointment and her team being reportedly blindsided by the cancellations, Clarkson assured that the show is extraordinary and she wants to start it strong. She thanked her fans for their support and explained that the delays were necessary to deliver the best experience possible. The residency will continue with scheduled performances through August and later in November.
