"Meaning of Life" is the album I always wanted to make and I am so excited to finally be able to tour it!, " say Clarkson. "Even while recording it, I couldn't wait for people to experience the music live, to not only hear it, but feel it. It has taken almost a year of planning, and I can't wait to see y'all on the road!"
A seasoned live performer, Clarkson most recently headlined the 2018 US Open Opening Night Ceremony last month with a medley of her greatest hits. The past year also saw Clarkson host and perform on the 2018 BILLBOARD MUSIC AWARDS in addition to performances on the American Music Awards, TODAY Show Summer Concert Series, Macy's 4th of July Fireworks Spectacular, CMT Awards and many more. Clarkson is further slated for several high-profile TV appearances this month, including The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon, Late Night with Seth Meyers, TODAY and The View.
Meaning of Life is the album Kelly Clarkson was destined to make with Atlantic Records, a collection of smart and sensual soul-inspired pop that immediately belongs among the legendary label's classic canon. Released to critical acclaim, Newsday praised Meaning of Life as "the best album of her career," while People called it "an impeccable blast of retro R&B." The Associated Press described the album as "the sound of freedom," with The New York Times concurring that "her voice is as big as ever." Meaning of Life features GRAMMY-nominated first single "Love So Soft" and the show-stopping ballad "I Don't Think About You" - both of which have become live show staples alongside Clarkson's extensive catalog of hits.
