It ain’t 2016 until Carrie Underwood says it is.
The country music star is set to headline ABC’s “Dick Clark‘s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve With Ryan Seacrest 2016.”
“There’s nowhere else I’d rather be than New York’s Times Square, one of the most magical places in the world, to ring in the New Year,” said Underwood. “It’s going to be a memorable night, and I can’t wait to celebrate with the world!”
“The first time I heard Carrie sing, I knew she would be a superstar, and each year she continues to dominate the charts,” added host and executive producer Ryan Seacrest. “I can’t wait to see her rock Times Square and ring in 2016 as our headliner.”
In addition to Underwood’s performance, Jenny McCarthy will report live from Times Square while singer Fergie returns to host the Billboard Hollywood Party.
“Dick Clark‘s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve” is produced by Dick Clark Productions with Seacrest, Allen Shapiro and Mike Mahan as executive producers, and Barry Adelman and Mark Bracco as co-executive producers. Larry Klein is producer.
