Carrie Underwood is set to headline the upcoming “Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest 2025,” an event renowned for its spectacular performances and grandiose celebration of the year-end. Alongside Underwood, the show will include performances by rising star Megan Moroney and seasoned British singer-songwriter Sophie Ellis-Bextor. Moroney, known for her hit “Am I Okay?”, adds a fresh country flair to the lineup, while Ellis-Bextor, famed for her early 2000s hit “Murder on the Dancefloor,” brings her unique style back into the limelight following the song's resurgence from its feature in the buzzworthy film “Saltburn.” These artists join the stage with other performers such as Lenny Kravitz, Teddy Swims, Tinashe, Cody Johnson, and Thomas Rhett, creating an all-encompassing musical experience for viewers.

The celebratory event will take place live from New York’s Times Square, where Underwood promises to deliver a medley of her greatest hits just before the iconic midnight ball drop. Her performance on New Year's Eve marks her return to the stage of this illustrious event, having previously performed there in 2007 and again in 2015. The country music superstar expressed her excitement about returning, particularly as this year celebrates both her 20-year journey since winning “American Idol” and Ryan Seacrest’s 20th year hosting the event. This dynamic duo is set to make the event memorable, not just for their professional rapport but also for the nostalgic reflection on their careers' overlapping milestones.

Other featured performers, Megan Moroney and Sophie Ellis-Bextor, bring their own distinctive essence to the event. Moroney’s recent accolades, such as winning the CMA New Artist of the Year, exemplify her rising status in the music industry. Ellis-Bextor, however, leverages her well-established international fanbase with her timeless hits, offering a blend of nostalgic allure and new audiences from her recent resurgence in popularity. Their appearances on “Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve” add significant value, broadening the event's appeal across different genres and cultural tastes.

This year, the event holds additional significance as it commemorates multiple anniversaries. It marks the 54th annual installment of New Year's Rockin' Eve and the 20th New Year's Eve celebration hosted by Ryan Seacrest. With its broadcast beginning at 8 p.m. Eastern Time on December 31st and streaming the next day on Hulu, the show continues to maintain its status as the most-watched New Year's Eve celebration in the United States. Viewers nationwide can expect not only musical performances but also a quintessential New Year's Eve celebration experience featuring countdowns, guest interviews, and an unforgettable ambiance leading up to the new year.
