Kelly Clarkson is putting family first.
Just weeks after canceling the opening weekend of her her Studio Sessions residency at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas last month, the “Since U Been Gone” singer and talk show host has canceled her remaining August performance dates.
“Unfortunately, I need to postpone the remainder of the August Studio Session dates in Las Vegas,” she wrote late Wednesday on X. “While I normally keep my personal life private, this past year, my children’s father has been ill and at this moment, I need to be fully present for them,” she continued, referring to her ex-husband, Brandon Blackstock, dad to her daughter Ruby Rose, 11, and son Remy, 9.
“I am sincerely sorry to everyone who bought tickets to the shows and I so appreciate your grace, kindness and understanding,” her post concluded.
The post came just over an hour after fans noticed their digital tickets for this weekend’s shows had been changed to dates in late July 2026.
Clarksons apology echoes the one she gave in early July.
The “Since U Been Gone” singer opened her residency at the Colosseum Caesars Palace last month, one week later than she had planned, putting the first two shows on hold 90 minutes before she was expected to step onto the stage.
“We have been working 24/7 to make Studio Sessions the most intimate and extraordinary experience with and for my incredible fans,” Clarkson wrote on Instagram. “I am beyond grateful that you always show up for me, and I am devastated to have to postpone tonight and tomorrow’s opening at Caesars.”

“Kelly is an unparalleled artist who has developed a remarkable new show for the Colosseum at Caesars Palace,” the venue said in a statement following Clarkson’s opening weekend cancelation. “We are confident that when she’s recovered, fans will experience an incredible, intimate performance from one of this generation’s leading voices.”
Clarkson apologized to fans in person at her July 11 show, which served as the new opening for the residency: “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,” she said. “But thank y’all for showing up. We are so excited. This is my favorite residency — my favorite show I’ve ever put together.”
