Overall, the tour received positive reviews throughout its run. Many critics praised McEntire's ability to adapt her country roots into a rock and roll atmosphere.

The 2 Worlds 2 Voices Tour was a co-headlining concert tour by America singers Reba McEntire and Kelly Clarkson.[1] The tour supported McEntire's Reba: Duets and Clarkson's My December. The tour only visited North America. [2] The tour is estimated to have grossed over US$7 million. [3]

Background

Deemed "one of pop music's most curious couplings" by USA Today [4] — the tour came about as a consequence of Clarkson's career battles surrounding the release of her June 2007 My December album. Clarkson left her previous management, "The Firm"[5] and joined a management company headed by McEntire's husband, Narvel Blackstock.[4] The two teamed up together for McEntire's Reba: Duets album, released in September 2007, as well as on the television program CMT Crossroads,[6] in the process, discovering "a spark between the two" of them.[6]

It was rumored in October 2007 by one of McEntire's band members that the two singers would tour together and the first date was confirmed on November 14, 2007 by West Virginia station WTRF-TV.[7] The tour was officially announced on November 15, 2007.[6] The tour proved to be an overwhelming success, selling out all fifteen shows[8].
