The air within the gilded walls of the Belasco Theatre did not hum with the typical “effervescence” of a pop concert; instead, it felt like a “shrine” to the departed. On April 24, 2023, Kelly Clarkson stood center stage, her silhouette “etched” against a backdrop of expectant silence. She was not there to merely “showcase” her four-octave range; she was there to “incinerate” the remaining vestiges of a decade-long union.<\/span><\/p>\n
