Taylor Swift can’t just release a new video on the web. She needs an event to use as a launch pad, which is exactly what Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve will be for her.
Over a year after the release of 1989, Swift will release “Out of the Woods” as another single and the song will get the sixth music video for the album. The video will debut during the Rockin’ Eve broadcast, which starts on Dec. 31 at 8 p.m. It includes five and a half hours of music and doesn’t end until 2:13 a.m.
While Swift isn’t set to perform live during the broadcast, ABC and dick clark productions have still enlisted several big stars. Demi Lovato, Whiz Khalifa & Charlie Puth, Luke Bryan and Carrie Underwood will perform in New York.
The Billboard Hollywood Party performers include One Direction, 5 Seconds of Summer, Alessia Cara, DNCE, Fall Out Boy, Ellie Goulding, Andy Grammer, Nick Jonas, Tove Lo, Elle King, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, OMI, Pentatonix, Rachel Platten, Nathan Sykes and Walk The Moon. Fergie is hosting that event.
Jimmy Buffett will also pop in from his Barclays Center show to perform “Margaritaville.”
