Rita Ora is welcoming 2025 in style. The actress, singer, songwriter, and TV personality is set to join Ryan Seacrest in Times Square for “Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve With Ryan Seacrest 2024,” which will air live on ABC. And though Seacrest is getting close to two decades of hosting the show and this will be Ora’s first year, Ora already feels like she’s been here for a while.
“Honestly, it feels like we’ve been doing this for a long time together,” Seacrest told PEOPLE while the two did press promoting the event, with Ora adding, “Ryan does have the skill of just making everyone feel so comfortable.”

It’s a very good thing the two get on so well, as they will be standing in the cold for hours. “It’s just such an iconic show and, for so many of us, it’s almost like it doesn’t feel real,” Ora told WWD. “When you’re watching it on TV, and you see all the incredible stars and Ryan, and all the interviews, you’re thinking, ‘wow, what a magic environment to be a part of.’ So that’s why I’m so excited to be a part of this. It’s a dream for me.”
As Ora prepares to host the New Year’s Eve special, which will begin airing on ABC at 8 p.m. EST on Tuesday, Dec. 31. and will be available to stream on Hulu the next day, there’s a renewed interest in her personal life, including her relationships.
