Kelly Clarkson\'s live shows are known for including some really surprising moments, including unexpected cover songs. She even takes one tweeted request from an audience member during each concert.

But probably nothing will ever top that moments three weeks ago in Los Angeles when she broke down crying during a performance of her song "Piece by Piece" and had to explain to the audience that she was hormonal because she was "totally pregnant" with her second child. She hadn\'t even told some of her family members at the time.

So now it\'ll be Clarkson plus one Tuesday on the stage of the MidFlorida Credit Union Amphitheatre in Tampa.

Reports from the "Piece by Piece" tour -- named after her most recent album, which came out in February -- have been glowing. She has the same down-to-earth charm, great taste in pop songs and dynamic vocal chops that have taken her from "American Idol" to the highest echelons of pop stardom.

For the Tampa show, she\'s joined by three opening acts. Pentatonix is the great a cappella group that first gained fame on another television talent show, "The Sing-Off." Eric Hutchinson is an up-and-coming singer-songwriter whose music has been generating some serious buzz in the industry. Abi Ann is an 18-year-old country singer who recently toured with Jesse McCartney.

Details: 7 p.m. Sept. 15, MidFlorida Credit Union Amphitheatre, 4802 U.S. 301, Tampa. Tickets: $26.25-&125.90. Information: 813-740-2446, livenation.com.
