The very first 'American Idol' will take America by storm, kicking off the four-month trek on January 13 in Mashantucket, Ct. and wrapping on April 10 in San Diego, Calif. Slated to open for the superstar on most of her Stronger Tour stops is folk-rocker Matt Nathanson.
The tour will support Kelly's fifth studio album, which has thus far peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard albums chart. And although KC will be sure to sing her new hits, something tells us she'll be busting out some Clarkson classics as well. Tickets go on sale to the general public this Friday (Nov. 18).
