The 2 Worlds, 2 Voices Tour is a co-headlining concert tour by country music star Reba McEntire and pop rock singer Kelly Clarkson that took place in January and February 2008, and will then resume between September and November 2008.[1] The tour's shows will feature the two singers sharing the same band and stage[2] and performing each others' songs. The tour is expected to host over 200,000 people. It is possible that the song set list may change. This hasn't been verified.[1]

[edit] History
The unusual cross-genre, cross-generational pairing — called by USA Today "one of pop music's most curious couplings"[3] — 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 firm[4] and joined a management company headed by McEntire's husband, Narvel Blackstock.[3] The two teamed up together for McEntire's Reba: Duets album, released in September 2007, as well as on the television program CMT Crossroads,[5] in the process, discovering "a spark between the two" of them.[5]
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.[6] The tour was officially announced on November 15, 2007.[1][5] The tour's dates took place in between legs of Clarkson's My December Tour. The tour proved to be an overwhelming success, selling out all fifteen shows[7].
The opening act for the tour is Reba McEntire's former "Reba" co-star, Melissa Peterman. This was kept secret until the opening show.
[edit] Second Leg Annoucement
The Reba McEntire fan website FancyReba.com reported on February 15, 2008 that the tour would be extended for September - November. On May 15th, 2008 the dates were confirmed by both Kelly Clarkson's and Reba McEntire's official websites [8] with the following annoucement:
Entertainment superstars, Reba McEntire and Kelly Clarkson, announced today they will play additional 2 Worlds 2 Voices tour dates this fall. The unique tour, combining both superstar bands and both superstar acts on one stage for a combined non-stop set, sold out 15 markets from mid-January to mid-February of 2008. The tour received unanimous rave reviews. Today, the power vocalists announced 24 additional show dates beginning September 25 in Winnipeg and ending November 22 in Baltimore. Steve Moore of MEG/AEG LIVE Nashville will again promote the entire tour. "We were thrilled to bring this unprecedented concept to the marketplace earlier this year.
