Kelly Clarkson to Go on Summer Tour

— -- Kelly Clarkson has a new baby, a new album and now she is taking both of them out on the road.

Clarkson, 32, announced today on “Good Morning America” that she will be going out on tour this summer for her new album, “Piece by Piece."

“I’m so excited,” Clarkson said. "I’ve been at home with a baby.”

The former “American Idol” winner gave birth to daughter River Rose in June 2014. She says the now 8-month-old River will make a great traveling companion during her tour, which Clarkson said will kick off in July.

“I have a magical baby. She loves traveling so far,” Clarkson said, adding that River especially loves her newest single, “Heartbreak Song.”

“This song, she loves the whole album but she loves this song. It’s crazy,” Clarkson said.

The three-time Grammy winner did not reveal any further details about the tour, such as who will open or whether any fellow singers will make guest appearances.

One thing Clarkson did clarify, however, is that if she asked fellow singers, they would show up.

“I was being funny,” Clarkson said, referring to the firestorm that erupted when she jokingly said in an interview last month on BBC Radio 1 that no major artists want to collaborate with her on a song.

“I also said I had the Black Plague. I don’t have that,” Clarkson said on “GMA.” "I was just being funny because people were kind of making it to where, because John Legend and I sang on this record, they were like, ‘Why didn’t you sing with anybody before?,’ like almost making me a snob.”

“I was like, ‘I’ve asked people to sing. I would sing with a lot of people but it just doesn’t always work out with the timing,’” Clarkson said. "People will work with me.”

Oscar winner Legend joins Clarkson for "Run Run Run," on "Piece by Piece," which was released today.

Clarkson has previously collaborated with country greats like Vince Gill and Reba McEntire, her stepmother-in-law, and says a return to country could be in her future too.

"I love country music. I love R&B. I love a lot of styles. I just don’t want to stop changing and growing," Clarkson said of her future.

"I love Broadway. I grew up in musical theater," she added, hinting at another possible career move.
