Taylor Swift to Perform Live in Times Square on New Year’s Eve

Ten-time American Music Award winner Taylor Swift will headline “Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest 2013,” performing live in front of a crowd of an estimated 1 million people in Times Square just before the ball drops on MONDAY, DECEMBER 31 on the ABC Television Network. She headlines the biggest party of the year, fresh from the record-breaking success of her blockbuster new album, “RED.”

Lauded by The New York Times as “one of the most important pop artists of the last decade” and by Rolling Stone as “one of the few genuine rock stars we’ve got these days,” Taylor Swift is a six-time Grammy winner and is the youngest winner in history of the music industry’s highest honor, the Grammy Award for Album of the Year. With the 2012 release of her album “RED,” she is the only female artist in music history (and just the fourth artist ever) to twice have an album hit the 1 million first-week sales figure. She holds the record for the biggest digital sales week ever for a song by a woman, and for the second-largest song sales week overall, as well as the worldwide iTunes record for highest ever first-week album sales.

“I remember meeting and listening to Taylor Swift perform before she even had her first single. I was blown away by her talent and just knew that she would be a huge success,” said Ryan Seacrest. “Taylor is truly this year’s global star and is the perfect artist to ring in the New Year for us at the crossroads of the world.”

The New Year’s festivities kick off at 8:00 p.m., ET with a two-hour live special featuring a tribute to Dick Clark, hosted by Fergie and Jenny McCarthy, “New Year’s Rockin’ Eve Celebrates Dick Clark.” The special celebrates, through clips and reminiscences, the legendary television personality and producer who rang in the New Year for four decades and launched and nurtured the careers of countless artists. Ryan Seacrest makes a special appearance.

Beginning at 10:00 p.m., ET, Ryan Seacrest will host “Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest 2013″ from New York, with Jenny McCarthy returning to interview the revelers in Times Square. Fergie of The Black Eyed Peas will return to host the Los Angeles-based portions of the specials. In addition to Taylor Swift, some of America’s hottest artists and groups will perform throughout the night. The bi-coastal celebration will include over 5 1/2 hours of special performances and reports on New Year’s celebrations from around the globe, and Ryan Seacrest will lead the traditional countdown to midnight from Times Square in New York City.

‘DWTS: All Stars’ Country Night Features Little Big Town, Big and Rich, Taylor Swift and Jason Mraz

Put on your cowboy wear… It’s Country night, on “Dancing with the Stars: All-Stars,” MONDAY, OCTOBER 29 (8:00-10:01 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network. Each couple will be performing to a Country hit song where the celebrity will be required to perform a solo during his or her routine. Three-time CMA Award-nominated group Little Big Town will rock the stage, performing their smash hit, “Pontoon,” accompanied by The Troupe. The remaining eight couples will perform together in a Freestyle Group Dance. Accompanying the Group Dance, Country legends Big & Rich, along with Cowboy Troy, will perform a medley of “Save a Horse (Ride a Cowboy)” and “I Play Chicken with the Train,” two of the show’s most exciting freestyle songs from previous seasons. This is the first time the show’s Group Dance will be accompanied by musical guests.

The next night, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 30 (8:00-9:01 p.m., ET), multi-platinum recording artist and six-time Grammy(r) winner Taylor Swift will perform her mega hit single, “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together,” from her new blockbuster album, “Red.” In addition Grammy-winning singer and songwriter Jason Mraz will hit the stage to perform his chart topping hit single, “I Won’t Give Up,” from his latest album, “Love is a Four Letter Word.” Pro dancers Chelsie Hightower and Mark Ballas will dance during his live performance. And this week’s “Macy’s Stars of Dance” welcomes RJ Durell and Nick Florez, two of the hottest choreographers in the business, having worked with Katy Perry, Cher Lloyd and, most recently, Pink. Their dance will bring a modern day twist on Marie Antoinette, featuring incredible costumes, amazing hair and makeup, and 14 of some of the best dancers out there.

Taylor Swift is a six-time Grammy winner and the youngest winner ever of the music industry’s highest honor, the Grammy Award for Album of the Year. She writes all of her own songs, and has career record sales in excess of 22 million albums and 50 million song downloads. Swift’s fourth studio album, “Red,” was just released this week and is already garnering widespread critical acclaim and setting new sales records. The album’s lead single, “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together,” has been certified double platinum and spent three weeks at No. 1 atop Billboard’s all-genre Hot 100 Chart. The track topped the iTunes charts in 32 countries, and set a new record for the biggest digital sales week ever for a female artist. Her 2010 album, “Speak Now,” was lauded on Rolling Stone’s prestigious 50 Greatest Albums of All Time (by women) list, and Time magazine named Swift one of the 100 Most Influential People in the World.

Hailed as one of today’s most gifted pop troubadours, Jason Mraz has taken his musical journey from coffee houses to stadiums globally and now has two Grammy Awards and six Grammy nominations to his credit. Mraz’s latest album, “Love is a Four Letter Word,” debuted in the Top 15 in 13 countries, including No. 2 in the United States, with the first single, “I Won’t Give Up,” debuting in the No. 1 slot on Billboard’s Digital Songs Chart one week after its release. Mraz’s previous album, “WE SING. WE DANCE. WE STEAL THINGS.” was a multi-platinum, best-selling album that featured the record breaking single, “I’m Yours.” The album also helped him garner two Grammy wins to add to his long list of accomplishments, winning Best Male Vocal Performance for “Make It Mine” and Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals for “Lucky,” his duet with Colbie Cailbat.

Platinum-selling group Little Big Town first entered the music scene over 13 years ago with hits such as “Boondocks,” “Bring It on Home” and “Little White Church.” The band recently earned the highest album debut of their career with the release of “Tornado,” which sold 112,758 units in its first week. “Tornado” held the No. 1 spot on Billboard’s Country Albums Chart for five consecutive weeks. The album’s two-week No. 1 single, “Pontoon,” has sold over 1 million downloads, and their current single, “Tornado,” is their fastest rising to date. Little Big Town have three nominations for the upcoming CMA Awards, including Vocal Group of the Year, Single of the Year and Video of the Year for “Pontoon.” They have performed for over 4 million fans nationwide.

Big & Rich are America’s Technicolor cowboys, brothers-in-arms in service to the creed that great music has no boundaries. Individually John Rich and Big Kenny Alphin are first-rate musicians, songwriters, producers and entertainers. Together they are one of the most truly original musical forces ever unleashed. With the release of “Hillbilly Jedi,” they reassert their position as modern music’s best party soundtrack with songs like “Party Like Cowboyz,” “Rock the Boat” and “Get Your Game On.” Also contributing to the proceedings is Cowboy Troy, whose rapping adds to the energy and attitude of “Rock the Boat” and “Get Your Game On.” As “Hillbilly Jedi” finds the duo on top of their studio game, their live performances find them at their hell-raising best, with crowds as intense and appreciative as any they’ve ever faced. Big & Rich are also nominated for Vocal Duo of the Year at this year’s CMA Awards.

Hosted by Emmy Award winner Tom Bergeron (“America’s Funniest Home Videos”) and Brooke Burke-Charvet (“Dancing with the Stars” Season Seven Champion), the celebrities perform choreographed dance routines which will be judged by renowned Ballroom judge Len Goodman and dancer/choreographers Bruno Tonioli and Carrie Ann Inaba.

Viewers may cast their votes for their favorite teams via phone on Monday night during and up to 60 minutes after the “Dancing with the Stars: All-Stars” performance shows. AT&T customers may also vote by texting the word “VOTE” and entering the number that corresponds to the team they want to support (message and data rates may apply).

Hannah Montana Movie to Feature Huge Stars (And We Don’t Mean Dolly Parton)

Miley’s co-star Mitchel Musso dishes to MTV on the caliber of guest stars to appear in the new film. The tight-lipped Musso only names Disney stars pal Taylor Swift but goes on to say, “I hate hiding it. I’m saying big, feature film stars and big musicians” – and not necessarily of the Disney variety either. See the article here.
