Now, we all knew that the New Year's Eve shows — like awards shows and other events — would be a little awkward this year. Between Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve on ABC and New Year's Eve on NBC, there were definitely a few hiccups.
Here are some of those awkward moments we all love:
1. For starters, it was a pretty empty Times Square because of COVID-19 restrictions.
no one: absolutely no one: the 17 planet fitness people dancing in times square for the last 4 hours:
2. And the Planet Fitness branding was a lot — like, A LOT.
The Planet Fitness Wacky Waving Inflatable Tube Men Times Square NYE Party is the best horror movie of 2020
3. Jennifer Lopez bashed into the camera during her performance:
HELP;&:&/&
4. She also performed the vocally challenging Aerosmith song "Dream On," which definitely was not received well:
Didn’t think 2020 could get worse but then we get JLo singing Dream On by Aerosmith. #RockinEve
5. Cyndi Lauper had a rough time with her performance:
"2020 can’t get any worse, there’s just one hour left." cyndi lauper:
6. Mariah Carey corrected Andy when he said that she "recorded" the song "All I Want for Christmas Is You" instead of making it clear that she WROTE it. YES, MARIAH!
Mariah Carey reminding that she even WROTE the biggest christmas song 'All I Want For Christmas Is you"
7. And J.Lo's performance audio interrupted Mariah's interview. :/ :/
Not Jlo performing while Mariah Carey speaks 😭😭 Andy AINT SH*T for mentioning Jlo lmaooooo
8. Andy Cohen went off on New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio:
Drunk Andy Cohen going off on Bill de Blasio to kick off 2021 with Anderson Cooper
9. Blake Shelton debuted his new song, "Minimum Wage," which features the out-of-touch lyrics, "Girl, your love can make a man feel rich on minimum wage." In 2020, please, no.
blake shelton in a cowboy hat you’re welcome 😍😍
10. Jhené Aiko was mislabeled as Saweetie, SMH:
YOU MEAN @JheneAiko ???!!!!! THAT IS NOT @Saweetie 😭😭😭😭 #NewYearsRockinEve
11. And lastly, Dr. Jill Biden couldn't open up her confetti cannon:
Is this a preview of what we can expect in 2021?!? 🤣 #newyearsrockineve #rockineve #newyork #fail #biden #dud
