The band posted a video of the show on their Facebook, writing, “Many thanks to all Happy 2022.” The performance was met with praise by many fans. One commented, “You guys are *still* my all-time favorite band of all time. YOU ROCK!!!!” Another said, “You guys still got it! Best performance of the show.”
Karol G also performed in New York’s Times Square. LL Cool J was originally slated to perform, but canceled on Dec. 29 after testing positive for COVID-19. Chlöe Bailey was also scheduled to perform at the event, but dropped out as well. No explanation was given for the cancelation.
