During her chat with DeGeneres, the singer, who just wrapped her 2018 Liberation Tour, revealed that the idea for the residency has been a few years in the making.

She said her son Max, 11, and daughter Summer, 4, really enjoyed last year's tour, but this will be more convenient for their family.

\"It will be a little easier with the kids,\" she said on the one-stop location. \"It's less full-on travel.\"

“I’m a mama bear,” Aguilera continued. “I like to take care of crew around me. I love my kids, I believe in routines. If they’re happy, I’m happy, but I had to get back to my heart and my soul and my fans and what I love to do best.\"

\"I still want to see my fans all over and in Europe and everything, but how much easier for everyone to just come to one place and fill the venue with fantasy and love and excitement,\" she added.

She also posted a teaser for the upcoming tour, wearing a jewel-encrusted mask on her social account.
