Kelly Clarkson went makeup-free on Instagram this Friday while quashing rumors that her Las Vegas shows will kick off a full tour.

The 41-year-old songstress announced this March that she will play 10 concerts at Planet Hollywood's Bakkt Theater in July and August.

Fans began speculating that the Sin City engagement might be a teaser for a longer tour that Kelly would announce at a later date.

However she fired up her social media to put a stop to the conjecture, reminding the public she has 'a nine-to-fiver' in the form of her daytime talk show.

Along with her series - production of which is currently on hold for the Hollywood writers' strike - she noted she is also occupied with her two young children.

Kelly shares her daughter River, eight, and son Remy, seven, with her ex-husband and former manager Brandon Blackstock.

'People are saying: "Are you going on tour?" Here's the thing. This is why I announced the 10 shows in Vegas. I was not being like: "Oh, it's a secret. We've really got this huge tour we're gonna do right after,"' she assured the fans.

'It really is, like - I don't know if y'all have noticed, but I have like a nine-to-fiver! Like, I have a job that's like a lot of, you know, work and takes time,' said Kelly. 

'So – and I also have kids! You know, they're in school, so I get really tied down to those things, obviously,' the mother of two explained.

However she made sure to keep hope alive, letting slip that 'we are trying to figure out what the possibilities are in certain parts of our calendar.'

Returning to her original theme, she said with a laugh: 'But I'm not like, you know, saying: "Oh, there's only 10 shows!" and really secretly we have these other ones.

'

Kelly doubled down: 'Like, it's really these 10 shows!' insisting she had been 'very adamant about being very honest when I first announced it.'

She promised an 'intimate,' 'cool' production with a 'more rock 'n' roll vibe, like, not so like Vegas-y like everywhere. But it's gonna be really cool.'

Her post comes after she vowed to undergo 'leadership training' in the wake of a report that her talk show had become a 'toxic' work environment. 

The daytime series became the target of a Rolling Stone exposé where one current and 10 former staffers claimed bullying took place behind the scenes.
