Underwood sang several of her hits, which included “Smoke Break,” which she rocked on guitar, the gorgeous ballad and her latest radio single “Heartbeat,” as well as her spitfire classic “Before He Cheats.” She was able to put “The Big Apple” crowd into the country music spirit thanks to her powerhouse pipes.
Other performers that she shared the Times Square stage with included pop mega-star Demi Lovato, pop sensation Charlie Puth and rapper Wiz Khalifa, country superstar Luke Bryan, among many others.
Following Underwood’s soaring live performance, “The Waterford Ball,” which featured the “Gift of Wonder” crystals dropped at midnight at “Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin Eve,” and countless New Yorkers and tourists were present to celebrate this annual tradition.
