The pop superstar will not only perform live in Times Square on New Year’s Eve, before an estimated one million people, but she’ll drop the ball, too.
The New York Post reports New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg has selected Gaga as his special guest on New Year’s Eve to push a Waterford Crystal button and drop the ball in Times Square at 11:59 p.m.
Each year, the Mayor chooses a guest to help drop the ball and count down the year’s final minute. Past choices have included Bill and Hillary Clinton, Colin Powell, Muhammad Ali and Rudy Giuliani.
Fans will be able to catch Gaga perform, and drop the ball, on ABC’s “Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve With Ryan Seacrest 2012.”
