Morissette, celebrating the 30th anniversary of her iconic Jagged Little Pill album, will perform multiple times during the night, including a duet with Rapp on “You Oughta Know.” The new additions join previously announced performers Carrie Underwood, Megan Moroney, Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Lenny Kravitz, Teddy Swims, Tinashe, Cody Johnson and Thomas Rhett. The countdown will air on ABC on Dec. 31 beginning at 8 p.m. ET.

The most-watched NYE countdown show will once again be hosted by Seacrest — in his 20th go-round — along with co-host Rita Ora in Times Square, where Underwood will take the stage for a medley of her greatest hits live just before midnight. Co-host Dayanara Torres will anchor the feed from Puerto Rico on the 54th annual broadcast.

Melissa Auf der Maur Captures the Grunge and Chaos of the ‘90s in New Photo Exhibition

My ‘90s Rock Photographs at Toronto’s Art Gallery of Ontario follows the Montreal-born musician through the last analogue decade, capturing on- and off-stage life as the bassist for two of the greatest rock bands: Hole and The Smashing Pumpkins.

Melissa Auf der Maur says she was one of the earliest pioneers of the selfie.

“Everybody knows this perspective now because you all do it on your phones, but I promise you I was the only person doing this. I even got a wide-angle point-and-shoot [camera] so that I could fit more people in [a photo],” she tells Billboard Canada, pointing to an image with famed actor and director Danny DeVito. “He had no idea what I was doing, turning the camera on us. I think my generation started looking at the world in a new way.”
