The Supreme Queen is ready for 2026. On Wednesday night, the legendary Diana Ross delivered a medley of hits while headlining Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve With Ryan Seacrest. The iconic singer took the stage for a stunning performance that included “I’m Coming Out” and “Upside Down.”
“Together we begin a new year. Let’s embrace a new beginning, new opportunities, new joy — a celebration of love, where we all come together as we begin 2026,” Ross said in a statement for the show.
The diva led a star-studded Rockin’ Eve lineup that included New Kids on the Block, AJR, the All-American Rejects, Chappell Roan, Mariah Carey, 50 Cent, Ciara, 4 Non Blondes, Jessie Murph, Demi Lovato, Pitbull, Zara Larsson, Madison Beer, the singing voices of KPop Demon Hunters, Lil Jon, Charlie Puth, and Little Big Town.
Ross’ appearance comes around the 50th anniversary of her Number One hit on the Billboard Hot 100 for “Theme from Mahogany (Do You Know Where You’re Going To)” from Mahogany.
This year, Ryan Seacrest and Rita Ora hosted the Rockin’ Eve spectacle, while Rob Gronkowski and Julianne Hough took the mic from Las Vegas.
Ross also hosted her Celebrating Timeless Classics tour this year, performing in cities across the United States and Europe, and also headlining a few festivals, including at the Montreaux Jazz Fest and Henley Fest.
Penske Media Corporation owns Dick Clark Productions, which is also the parent company of Rolling Stone.
