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.

‘That’s What This Is All About’: Kevin Lyman on 30 Years of Vans Warped Tour and What Comes Next

"The industry talks a big game about artist development," Lyman says. "But we are willing to die trying."

When Kevin Lyman launched Vans Warped Tour in 1995, he made a decision that confused a lot of people in the industry: no headliners.

Every artist on the bill listed alphabetically, given equal billing, equal space on the poster. Three decades later, with Warped returning for its biggest edition yet — five two-day U.S. festivals across Washington D.C., Long Beach and Orlando, plus international debuts in Montreal and Mexico City — that decision looks less like idealism and more like foresight.
