The songwriter was hospitalized for life-threatening blood clots. As soon as she was discharged, the TOGETHER singer immediately jumped back into her work schedule. Kelly said in an interview with People, "That moment was so surreal." She also added, "I'm in the hospital and I just remember saying to everyone, 'Hey, I'm getting out of here, right? I got stuff to do. My EP is coming out in a few days.' They were like, 'Probably not. We need to keep you here, make sure you're good.'" But Kelly recovered quickly. 

Is Tori Kelly currently on tour?

The speedy recovery of Kelly allowed her to complete the album EP on time. As the singer embarked on a North American tour, this first post-pandemic concert got her back on track. 

The singer announced her latest album TORI, which has a Y2K-inspired pop R&B sound. It was released on April 5, 2024. She also shared her thoughts on the album, saying, "I really thought the album was done even before the EP came out." She then said, "Then, the health scare happened, and I was like, 'Hold up. I definitely feel like there's another song or two brewing.'" This implies the song is inspired by her life experiences. As we wait to see the success of TORI, stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates.
