Jennifer Lopez has been announced as the headliner for Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve 2021, which will air live on Dec. 31, 2020, starting at 8 p.m. ET on ABC. Other performers include Jimmie Allen, and a collaboration between Billy Porter and Cyndi Lauper, who will perform a Kinky Boots reunion.
Lopez will perform just before the ball drops ad midnight, but there will be no live audience, as this year’s New Year’s Eve celebration in Times Square will be closed to the public due to the COVID-19 pandemic, organizers have revealed. Seacrest will be there to introduce the performers, and Porter will join him for some non-musical interludes as well. Lucy Hale will also be co-hosting. In addition, Ciara will host the west coast festivities from Los Angeles, California for the fourth year in a row.
