Kelly Clarkson will hit the road for her 28-date Meaning of Life Tour on Jan. 24—and the original American Idol will be bringing along Kelsea Ballerini for 19 dates.
Kelsea will serve as Kelly’s support during stops in Oakland, Salt Lake City, Detroit, Chicago, Nashville and more.
For Kelsea, who headlined The Unapologetically Tour in 2018 and will headline The Miss Me More Tour in April, opening for Kelly gives her the chance to learn from an artist she truly admires.
“I literally love her so much, and I think the thing that I admire most about her is she’s so real,” says Kelsea. “She just does not care to say something wrong. She doesn’t care—like, she’s just so authentic, and to be that successful and that authentic, I think is something that I really want to learn how to navigate and stand up for and be confident with, so I’m stoked.”
