Country music superstar Carrie Underwood joined her American Idol co-star Ryan Seacrest in Times Square on New Year’s Eve. As seen below, the 8-time Grammy Award winner and multi-platinum artist turned heads on the Rockin’ Eve stage in a silver suit with a plunging neckline when she performed live.
Underwood’s fans are going wild over her live performance. As one replied: “Singing live in 45 degree weather and still slaying.”

Underwood sang more than one song in Times Square before the ball dropped as seen below. Sitting in a plexiglass champagne glass with a pink fringe jacket over that plunging silver suit, the blonde beauty sang her 2022 song “Pink Champagne.”

In between performances, Underwood and Seacrest presented 2025 American Idol contestant R&B singer Filo Ebid (below) with a Platinum Ticket, which means he doesn’t have to go through the preliminary rounds of the talent competition.

The Egyptian-born singer is a student at the prestigious Berklee School of Music where he says he’s on a journey “fueled by a love for human connection.”
