The event, produced by Dick Clark Productions and iHeartMedia, was hosted by Ryan Seacrest for the 20th consecutive year, with co-host Rita Ora, who also performed that night.
With an estimated attendance of over a million, Underwood led the celebrations on the 20th anniversary of her American Idol victory. The Grammy winner performed before the iconic ball drop in Times Square, showcasing hits like “Church Bells,” “Pink Champagne,” and “Before He Cheats.”
The Jonas Brothers, celebrating their own 20th anniversary since entering the music scene in 2004, took the stage just after midnight to deliver a medley of their popular songs, including “Play My Music,” “Sucker,” and a cover of The Cranberries’ 1992 hit “Dreams.”
Rita Ora energized the audience with performances of “Let You Love Me,” “Praising You,” and “Ask & You Shall Get.” Meanwhile, Sophie Ellis-Bextor delighted fans with her 2001 hit “Murder On The Dancefloor,” which saw a resurgence after being featured in the climax of Saltburn.
TLC honored the 30th anniversary of their classic album “CrazySexyCool” with performances of “No Scrubs” and “Waterfalls,” while freestyle rapper Harry Mac impressed the crowd with an impromptu rap inspired by audience suggestions.
Emerging country artist Megan Moroney also lit up Times Square with a three-song medley featuring “Man On The Moon,” “No Caller ID,” and “Am I Ok.”
The New Year’s celebration also featured live performances from various venues worldwide, including Robbie Williams in Sydney, Jungle in London, Luis Fonsi in Puerto Rico, and several artists on the West Coast, such as Alanis Morissette and Kesha, as well as Blake Shelton and Lenny Kravitz in Las Vegas.
