Kelly Clarkson is grateful to have a moment like this.
One week after abruptly canceling the first two shows of her Studio Sessions residency at Las Vegas’ Colosseum Theater at Caesars Palace, the American Idol alum offered an apology as she kicked off the show.
“It took me a minute. I’m so sorry,” the Kelly Clarkson Show host told the audience July 11 via a video shared on TikTok. “I know some of y’all had tickets for last weekend’s shows. I’m so sorry. We can’t help our bodies sometimes. You know, we get sick, and that happens.”
“But thank y’all for showing up,” she added. “We are so excited. This is my favorite residency, my favorite show I’ve ever put together, because I love being in the studio.”
The “Piece by Piece” singer added another layer of celebration mid-show, further expressing how upset she was to cancel the performances.
“I’m celebrating because I had to cancel last weekend,” Kelly, 43, said via Entertainment Weekly. “I cried. I was so sick. It sucked. I’m so happy to be here.”
