As 2025 draws to a close, artists like Jordan Davis are taking a moment to reflect on their achievements over the past year. Davis recently celebrated the release of his new album, “Learn the Hard Way,” which marked his first album in two years. Released in August, it made a significant impact, debuting at No. 1 on the UK Country Albums chart and reaching No. 6 on the Top Country Albums chart in the United States.
Excited about the warm reception of his latest work, Davis is also preparing for a noteworthy performance on Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve. Acknowledging the vast audience that tunes in each year, he expressed a mix of enthusiasm and tranquility regarding his upcoming appearance. “This is the thing that you grow up [and] you know that everybody in the country is watching this,” Davis stated. “So here we are now, getting to sing at it, getting to be part of it, so it’s a special night.”
Having once dreamed of joining this iconic New Year’s celebration, Davis is now set to carve his name into the legacy of Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve.
When it comes to his performance, Davis shared that he intends to play two songs that hold a special place in his heart: “Bar None” and “I Ain’t Sayin’.” He emphasized the joy these tracks bring him during live shows, stating, “We’re just gonna play the two songs that we have the most fun onstage with.”
As we welcome 2026, fans can catch Jordan Davis’s performance during the New Year’s Eve festivities, airing live at 8:00 p.m. ET/PT on ABC. The event will be hosted by Ryan Seacrest from Times Square, featuring countdowns from Las Vegas, Chicago, Puerto Rico, and more.
For those who may find themselves drifting off before the ball drops, the New Year’s Eve special will be available for rewatching the following day on Hulu. With his upcoming performance, Davis is poised to turn a significant milestone into an unforgettable moment.
