Hot Tix: Kelly Clarkson @ Radio City

Kelly Clarkson, the first – and some would say best – “American Idol,” will kick off a North American tour in support of her recent “Stronger” album in the new year.

She’ll play Radio City Music Hall Jan. 21 with Matt Nathanson. Tickets, $39.50-$129.50, go on sale 10 a.m. Friday at ticketmaster.com.

Just last week Clarkson won a Country Music Association award for musical event of the year with Jason Aldean for the single “Don’t You Wanna Stay.”
