A Wet New Year’s In Times Square

Christina Aguilera, Dan + Shay and New Kids on the Block braved the rain to perform on New Year’s Eve for the estimated 1 million drenched revelers in New York’s Times Square.

Aguilera, clad in a large, belted, snow-white ball gown and towering thigh-high boots, nailed a long medley of her hits “Genie in a Bottle,” “Come on Over, “‘Aint No Other Man, “Can’t Hold Us Down” and “Fighter” while a steady rain poured down – she thanked the crowd for braving the elements and, after the performance, joked that her daughter’s middle name is Rain, so she felt right at home.

Other guests who performed on ABC’s broadcast of Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest – many from remote locations – included Ciara, Camila Cabello, Post Malone, Halsey, Shawn Mendes, Weezer, Kane Brown, Bazzi, Lauren Alaina, The Chainsmokers, Charlie Puth, Kelsea Ballerini, Dua Lipa, Ella Mai, Foster the People, Macklemore and Skylar Grey.

Also in midtown Manhattan on Monday night were Carson Daly, Leslie Jones and Chrissy Teigen, who hosted NBC’s New Year’s Eve special, featuring appearances by Keith Urban, Jennifer Lopez, Bebe Rexha, Diana Ross, Kelly Clarkson, Andy Grammer, John Legend and Blake Shelton.

Andy Cohen and Anderson Cooper hosted CNN’s New Year’s Eve countdown program, which included appearances by Gwen Stefani, Dave Chappelle, Patti LaBelle and Jack Black. The stars of the Broadway musicals The Band’s Visit, Pretty Woman, Come From Away, Wicked and Tootsie also sang on the show.
