Jennifer Lopez will help ring in the New Year with a special performance during Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest 2021.
J.Lo will perform just before the Times Square ball drop, and she headlines a starry live lineup from New York City’s Times Square, which includes Billy Porter, Cyndi Lauper and Jimmie Allen.
Porter and Lauper, who worked together on the award-winning Broadway music Kinky Boots, will reunite on the night for a duet, organizers announced Tuesday (Dec. 15).
As previously reported, Ryan Seacrest returns for his 16th year as host, and he’ll be joined by Lucy Hale and Billy Porter. Ciara will guide the Los Angeles celebration for the fourth year.
Also, Jessie James Decker will return as Powerball correspondent for a second time.
This year marks the 49th anniversary of the event, which will spread across more than five-and-a-half hours of programming. Catch all the action on Dec. 31 at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.
Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest 2021 is produced by dick clark productions, which is owned by MRC Entertainment, the parent company of Billboard.
