Star Gazing: Celebs Ring In The New Year And Hit The Ground Running Into 2022

As we say a celebratory goodbye to 2021 and gear up for a productive new year, celebrities hit the stages and the streets in style
Star Gazing: Celebs Ring In The New Year And Hit The Ground Running Into 2022
By Rivea Ruff · Updated January 6, 2022

2022 is in full swing, and your favorite celebrities have already kicked off Q1 with style.

Starting New Year’s Eve, stars took to stages across the country for celebrations bidding 2021 goodbye and looking forward to the future with dynamic performances.

From Big Boy & Sleepy Brown, to Ja Rule and Ashanti, from Ciara to Saweetie, there was no shortage of upbeat jams and dance moves to ring in the third year of the 20’s.

Star Gazing: Celebs Ring In The New Year And Hit The Ground Running Into 2022
DICK CLARK’S NEW YEAR’S ROCKIN EVE WITH RYAN SEACREST 2022 – “Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest 2022” marked the milestone 50th anniversary of America’s biggest celebration of the year and included over five hours of special performances and reports on New Year’s celebrations from around the globe. The most-watched annual celebration, “Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest,” will air FRIDAY, DEC. 31, live on ABC at 8:00 p.m. EST.

As the confetti was swept away and January officially kicked off, comedians like Cedric the Entertainer and DL Hughley took to the stage to regale an Atlanta crowd with jokes, Doja Cat performed her hits in the Bahamas, and some of our favorite shows, Black-Ish and This Is Us, kicked off their monumental final seasons.
