The 70-minute show featured frequent sing-alongs from the audience and expressions of gratitude from Clarkson. There were rock arrangements to most songs, with an a cappella "Beautiful Disaster" and a two-acoustic guitar-only "Breakaway".

2005-2006: The Breakaway World Tour
* November 2005 - April 2006
* The Breakaway World Tour began on Friday November 4, 2005, at the Challenge Stadium in Perth, Australia. Her final show in Australia and both New Zealand dates were postponed due to vocal strain, though she planned to make up these cancellations. She headed to the British Isles beginning February 17, 2006 in Manchester, United Kingdom, after which she toured Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany and Austria.
The two Tel Aviv, Israel dates scheduled for March 26th and 27th were cancelled due to Kelly's Laryngitis.
* Clarkson returned to "Crimson and Clover" until the 5th date at Cardiff for Cheap Trick classic I Want You to Want Me for 2 dates, whilst switching it again to AC/DC classic You Shook Me All Night Long which was also played as staple intro for all her shows, for London and Manchester. And then alternating between "I Want You To Want Me" and "Crimson and Clover" for the remainder of the tour. It is believed that she changed "Crimson and Clover" to "I want you to want me" to appeal to the younger than usual audience that attended her concerts in the UK.
