"I am over the moon to co-host NEW YEAR'S EVE LIVE from Nashville," Smith said. "I get to hang with the hottest acts in country music, some I'm lucky enough to call friends, on New Year's Eve in my hometown! Sign me up!"

The five-hour broadcast will cross multiple time zones, with the traditional countdown at midnight, ET, culminating with the renowned Nashville music note drop and fireworks at midnight, CT.

Radio and TV personality Bobby Bones is the host of the nationally syndicated iHeartRadio program "The Bobby Bones Show," which broadcasts to over 185 stations and is the #1 country morning show with millions of monthly listeners. The award-winning show is a two-time CMA Award winner and four-time ACM Award winner, and earned Bones the title of youngest-ever inductee into the prestigious National Radio Hall of Fame. His breakout TV series for National Geographic, "Breaking Bobby Bones," is streaming now on Disney+. He has served as the official in-house mentor on ABC's "American Idol," he won season 27 of ABC's "Dancing with the Stars," and he serves as host and executive producer of Circle Network's "Opry." The fan-favorite podcast "BobbyCast," which features candid long-form interviews with top artists and industry figures, has been downloaded nearly 20 million times. Bones is also a two-time New York Times #1 bestselling author, touring stand-up comedian and philanthropist.

Rachel Smith joined the top-rated, Emmy(R) Award-winning entertainment newsmagazine ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT, as a New York-based correspondent for the show's 39th season. Recently, Smith served as a guest correspondent for ET, where she's interviewed the likes of Rihanna, Ryan Seacrest, Kelly Ripa, Kim Kardashian West, Dua Lipa, Katy Perry, Luke Bryan and Lionel Richie.
