Carrie Underwood to Headline ABC’s ‘New Year’s Rockin’ Eve’
Earlier this week, we brought you the exciting news that Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve With Ryan Seacrest was returning this year to ABC.
As the fan-favorite New Year’s special celebrates its 50th anniversary on the network, ABC has promised that this year’s program will be bigger and better than ever.
To that end, New Year’s Rockin’ Eve will broadcast live midnight celebrations from Las Vegas for the first time ever. ABC also announced musical performances by Cody Johnson, Lenny Kravitz, Teddy Swims, Thomas Rhett, and Tinashe.
However, ABC teased that more co-hosts, musical performers, and additional locations would soon be announced.
Today, the cat was finally let out of the bag, and ABC announced the New York lineup for the special.
Carrie Underwood Will Headline the New Year’s Special
Country music superstar Carrie Underwood will wrap up 2024 with a medley of her biggest hits just before midnight.

“I have such fun memories of performing on ‘New Year’s Rockin’ Eve’ in Times Square in both 2007 and 2015, and I’m so excited to perform just before the ball drops again this year. I’m thrilled to celebrate 20 years since winning ‘American Idol’ by joining Ryan as he hosts his 20th New Year’s Eve in Times Square,” Underwood said in a statement.
More Performers Have Been Announced
Megan Moroney and Sophie Ellis-Bextor will also perform during the New Year’s special. There are likely to be even more announcements to come.
