Over the past year and a half, Kelly has sold out shows in several major cities (including The Troubadour and The Roxy in Los Angeles, the Bowery Ballroom and Gramercy Theatre in New York City and Bush Hall in London), headlined a sold-out, nine-city U.S. run and supported Ed Sheeran and Sam Smith on tour.
