Reba and Kelly prove potent duo
The limited “2 World 2 Voices Tour,” which combined the talents and fan bases of Oklahoma country songstress Reba McEntire and “American Idol” winner Kelly Clarkson, was a sell-out success.
The pair concluded the five-week tour Saturday night in the new Sprint Center in Kansas City, with a crowd of 13,000 in attendance, according to a news release.
The tour kicked off Jan. 17 in Dayton, Ohio, and played 15 sold-out venues totaling more than 125,000 people. The tour included a Feb. 1 stop at Tulsa’s Mabee Center.
The two divas, who turned Clarkson’s hit “Because of You” into the Grammy-nominated first single of McEntire’s popular “Reba Duets” album, employed an unusual and equitable format for the tour. Both of them stayed on stage for the whole show, trading off lead and background vocals throughout the evening. They combined their bands into one group for the tour.
McEntire is continuing on the road with a solo U.S. tour starting in April. Clarkson is taking her solo shows to Australia and Europe.
