Clarkson was originally set to play a Vegas residency called "Invincible" in 2020, but that was postponed indefinitely due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The "American Idol" alum and talk show host announced her new album, "Chemistry," on Sunday, saying in a video posted to Instagram that it has been in the works for "close to three years."

"This album is definitely the arc of an entire relationship, and a whole relationship shouldn't be just brought down to one thing," she explained. "So there's the good, the bad, the ugly thing kinda going on in it."
