Kelsea Ballerini To Headline ‘Dick Clark's New Year’s Rockin’ Eve’

With another year coming to a close, we prepare to celebrate the holidays with delicious food, friends, family and exciting events that only come once a year! While Kelsea Ballerini has spent much of her year busy touring and promoting the deluxe edition of her sophomore album Unapologetically, which features her collaboration with pop Dj’s Chainsmokers, she’s slated to end 2018 during one of the country’s most sought after events. 

Ballerini will headline Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve event on the West Coast with a number of other artists, including The Chainsmokers, Foster the People, Dua Lipa, Macklemore, Skylar Grey, Ella Mai and Charlie Puth. Ryan Seacrest will continue his annual hosting duties from New York City, while Lucy Hale will handle emcee duties in New Orleans and Ciara will call the shots from the West Coast. Additionally, Jenny McCarthy will report from Times Square. Performers for the New York City and New Orleans celebrations will be announced soon.

The singer’s upcoming performance during the much-loved show continues a tradition of country artists appearing on the telecast. Through the years, country stars stopping by include Florida Georgia Line, Sugarland and Kane Brown. 

Aside from the New Year’s Eve bash, fans can find the Tennessee native on Kelly Clarkson’s Meaning of Life Tour, followed her headlining Miss Me More Arena Tour alongside Brett Young in the spring.

Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve begins live from New York City at 8PM ET on ABC.
