The 133rd Rose Parade presented by Honda and 108th Rose Bowl Game will return on January 1, 2022 starting at 8AM PST It’s still the bowl game that matters.
Jimmie Allen isn’t wasting any time getting on stage in 2022. On New Year’s Day, he will headline the pregame Rose Parade festivities before the 2022 Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Calif.
It’s New Year’s Day, it’s in Pasadena – at least it’s back this year after playing whatever that was last season playing a Rose Bowl in (ugh) Texas.
The Grammy nominee is set to perform his song “Good Times Roll” to close out the 133rd annual Rose Parade, according to KCAL in Los Angeles. Allen will take the stage following a drum performance from TikTok star Fletcher, accompanied by a four-piece band.
During the parade’s finale, the U.S. Army Golden Knights parachute team will be descending from the sky. Upon landing, they will do a live football toss from the route to the Rose Bowl Stadium.
LeAnn Rimes will also make her return to the annual parade in 2022, after joining the fun in 2006. She is set to perform “Throw My Arms Around the World” alongside the Rose Parade Dancers, the Mark Keppel Dance Company, the Rose Parade Flag Bearers and four drummers.
Her portion will conclude with fireworks as the two-hour parade gets underway. According to CBS in Los Angeles, Rimes created the new musical piece specifically for the Rose Parade in 2022.
The annual Rose Parade serves as the pregame for the Rose Bowl. 2022’s game is a matchup between the 7th-ranked Ohio State and No. 10, Utah. The game is scheduled for Jan. 1, 2022, at 5PM EST on ESPN.
Allen has had a busy 2021. In addition to winning CMA New Artist of the Year, he is nominated in the all-genre category of Best New Artist at the 64th annual Grammy Awards. Allen celebrated his wedding with Alexis Gale on May 27, 2021, later revealing that the two actually tied the knot on June 18, Allen’s birthday, in 2020.
The couple welcomed their second daughter, Zara James, on Oct. 16, 2021. The two are also parents to 2-year-old Naomi and Allen’s 7-year-old son, Aadyn, from a previous relationship.
The “Best Shot” singer recently shared another addition to the Allen household, a puppy. “Our Baby girl Naomi got her puppy. Dear World meet Grammy,” he wrote in the caption. From the look on her face, this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
Eric Church does not have a Grammy win, but he has 10 lifetime nominations, including three in the Country Album category. He’s a more refined and popular artist than ever before, and voting came as he was the reigning CMA Entertainer of the Year. A problem for voters might have been that Heart & Soul had to be considered as three separate albums, as was the case for the CMA Awards. If a Grammy win was his goal, he outsmarted himself.
The feel-good country music story of 2021 will ooze honey into 2022, as well. It’s just so much fun to root for Walker Hayes and his song “Fancy Like.” It’s catchy, it’s a sweet dad moment, it recalls teenage nights spent at Applebee’s — don’t underestimate the “feel good factor” as a reason to cast a vote. More than ever, that matters.
Carly Pearce had a breakout year in 2021. Membership into the Grand Ole Opry and a CMA Award for Female Vocalist of the Year spotlighted her new music, which was rooted in traditional country music and fantastic.
It’s not clear if a new rule that requires 75 percent of an album to have been released as new made 29: Written in Stone ineligible this year. Many of the songs were previously released on the 29 EP, but that was also released in 2021. As we mentioned with Eric Church, confusion isn’t your friend come Grammy season. We’ll still call this a snub, because the music merited inclusion somehow.
Jason Isbell’s nomination in the Best Country Solo Performance is his first in a country category after four in Americana categories. What’s surprising is that this song didn’t come from one of his albums. “All I Do Is Drive” is a Johnny Cash cover found on The Ice Road soundtrack.
Spiking COVID-19 cases are causing a lot of event cancellations around SoCal, but one new year’s tradition is still set to make a big comeback.
The bleachers along the Rose Parade route are expected to be packed with people on Saturday, with a lot of spectators — required to mask up to attend — excited for the parade and the return of the Rose Bowl.
Many of them are also disappointed by recent other cancellations.
“It’s only Wednesday,” said Gus Ruelas, a Rose Bowl Game ticket holder. “We’re hoping everything continues, but you know, just yesterday UCLA cancelled their football game, so you just never know.”
Ruelas, a resident of Pasadena, is cautiously optimistic about cheering on his team from the stands at this weekend’s game. “Fingers crossed though,” he said. “I’m hoping everything works out.”
The Holiday Bowl at Petco Park was cancelled at the last minute on Tuesday, because of COVID-19 protocols within UCLA’s program. North Carolina State was seen leaving San Diego on Wednesday morning, with fans frustrated.
“If they were going to cancel the game they could have done it much earlier,” said NC State fan Gray Moonayhan. Also Tuesday afternoon, the “Hamilton” production taking place at the Hollywood Pantages Theatre cancelleds its shows through Jan. 23, 2022, due to COVID-19 outbreaks.
The increase in COVID-19 cases prompted the Centers for Disease Control to cut its isolation guidelines down to five days for asymptomatic patients, hoping to get people back to work safely.
“By the time five days of isolation has occurred, you probably have about 85 to 90 percent of all of your transmission potential behind you,” Dr. Rochelle Walensky, director of the CDC, explained on the TODAY show Wednesday morning.
