My December Tour
Clarkson announced on her website that the My December Tour would start on July 11, 2007 in Portland, Oregon. The tour had 37 dates across the U.S. and Canada. Mat Kearney was scheduled to open for her and another possible special guest may have accompanied her.
However, on June 14, 2007, the tour was canceled. Live Nation CEO Michael Rapino released a statement:
"Ticket sales have not been what we anticipated and we came to the realization that we had bit off more than we could chew. In the end, we are in the Kelly Clarkson business and for that reason we believe that this decision will only benefit her and her fans in the long run."
Clarkson posted a response on her official website promising a new tour would happen: "I promise you that we're going to get back out there as soon as is humanly possible to give you a show that will be even better."
A new My December Tour for Fall 2007 in North America was announced on September 4, 2007 in Billboard.com and elsewhere, Clarkson was scheduled to play 26 dates in 3,000-to-7,500 seat theatres rather than the previous arenas. The twenty-tour city tour began in Verona, New York on October 10, 2007 and finished in Nashville, Tennessee on December 3, 2007.
When the second incarnation of the tour appeared on Ticketmaster, Jon McLaughlin was confirmed to be opening for Clarkson for the majority, if not all of her North America dates.

Famous quotes containing the words december and/or tour:
“Work—work—work,
In the dull December light,
And work—work—work,
When the weather is warm and bright—
While underneath the eaves
The brooding swallows cling
As if to show me their sunny backs
And twit me with the spring.”
—Thomas Hood (1799–1845)
“Do you know I believe that [William Jennings] Bryan will force his nomination on the Democrats again. I believe he will either do this by advocating Prohibition, or else he will run on a Prohibition platform independent of the Democrats. But you will see that the year before the election he will organize a mammoth lecture tour and will make Prohibition the leading note of every address.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
