Alanis Morissette & Reneé Rapp Ring In The New Year With a Righteous 'You Oughta Know': Watch

Alanis brought four '90s hits to the Las Vegas stage for Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve, joined by the young star for her barn-burning ode to knowing what you're owed.

Alanis Morissette and Reneé Rapp are here to remind us how to start the new year.

The Canadian singer-songwriter — and winner of Billboard Canada Women in Music's inaugural Icon Award — joined forces with Gen Z pop sensation Rapp for a duet during Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve. Performing from the television special's West Coast stage, Morissette and Rapp ripped into the former's 1995 classic "You Oughta Know."


The already high-intensity track is boosted by the addition of Rapp's powerhouse vocals — and she seems thrilled to be biting into the breakup anthem, posting on Instagram that Alanis is the only person who could get her out of the house on NYE.

That song, along with Morissette's breakthrough third album Jagged Little Pill, turns 30 this year, and Morissette is kicking off the celebrations in style. She also performed "Ironic" and "Head Over Feet" from Jagged, before segueing seamlessly into 1998 single "Thank U" — ending the year with some earnest gratitude.

Morissette's fans will have a lot to be thankful for this year, as she heads out on the road in March for tour dates in South America and Europe.

She wasn't the only superstar to take one of the many New Years Rockin' Eve stages this year. Jonas Brothers — following a fiery Grey Cup halftime performance — Carrie Underwood, TLC, Lenny Kravitz and Tinashe also helped kick off 2025 with a bang.

Olivia Rodrigo Recruits Alanis Morissette for a Surprise ‘Ironic’ Duet

Rodrigo welcomed Morissette, and the two launched into "Ironic," the enduring single from Morissette's 1995 landmark Jagged Little Pill.

Olivia Rodrigo turned a last-minute lineup shakeup into one of the defining moments of her inaugural Daisy Chain Fields festival on Saturday (Aug. 29), calling Alanis Morissette to the stage after Yeah Yeah Yeahs frontwoman Karen O pulled out of the all-women event at Great Park in Irvine, Calif.

Rodrigo delivered the news of the cancellation to the crowd herself, framing it gently before revealing the silver lining.
