“Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest 2025” returns to Times Square with Ryan Seacrest at the helm for his 20th year. The annual New Year’s Eve tradition, airing live on ABC, will feature a star-studded lineup, including Carrie Underwood, Megan Moroney, and Sophie Ellis-Bextor.
This year’s celebration carries special significance for Underwood, marking 20 years since her victory on “American Idol.” Her Times Square performance serves as both a celebration of her career milestones and a toast to the new year.
Rising country star Megan Moroney, fresh off her CMA New Artist of the Year win, will perform a two-song medley from her breakthrough album, “Am I Okay?”. Her inclusion in the lineup underscores her rapid ascent in the country music world.
Adding a touch of international flair, Sophie Ellis-Bextor will perform her resurgent hit, “Murder on the Dancefloor,” a song that has gained renewed popularity thanks to its inclusion in the recent film, “Saltburn.”
Joining Seacrest in New York as co-host is Rita Ora, while Dayanara Torres will co-host from Puerto Rico. The broadcast will also include performances by Lenny Kravitz, Teddy Swims, Tinashe, Cody Johnson, and Thomas Rhett, ensuring a diverse and dynamic musical experience. The show airs live Tuesday, December 31st at 8:00 PM EST on ABC and will be available to stream the next day on Hulu.
