Watch Chappell Roan, Mariah Carey, Post Malone, and More Perform at Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve

Chappell Roan, Mariah Carey, Post Malone, and dozens more performed televised sets last night (December 31) during Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest to help ring in 2026. Moments before the ball dropped in New York City’s Times Square, Roan sang “The Subway” live in Kansas City, Carey performed a medley including “Obsessed,” “In Your Feelings,” and “It’s Like That” in Las Vegas, and Post did “That’s My Story,” “What the Cowgirls Do,” and “Amarillo Sky” in Nashville. Watch a few clips from the New Years Eve celebration below.

This year’s event marked the 53rd anniversary of Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve. Over 40 artists performed across New York, Las Vegas, Chicago, Puerto Rico, and elsewhere as part of the festivities, while Seacrest and Rita Ora hosted the special.

Diana Ross, Maren Morris, Ciara, Le Sserafim, and Little Big Town sang live in the iconic Times Square location, while a long list of others performed from elsewhere, including 4 Non Blondes, Daddy Yankee, 50 Cent, Goo Goo Dolls, the All-American Rejects, Chance the Rapper with Jamila Woods, Charlie Puth, BigXthaPlug, New Kids on the Block, Busta Rhymes, Demi Lovato, Pitbull, Zara Larsson, and the singers behind KPop Demon Hunters’ HUNTR/X.

Over on CNN last night, Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen’s New Years Eve event included a live performance by Robyn on a different Times Square stage. In between her lasting hits “Dancing on My Own” and “Call Your Girlfriend,” she sang her new single “Dopamine,” which seems to be the lead single from Robyn’s first album since 2018.
