Blake Shelton will perform at his Ole Red on the Strip during this year’s “Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve With Ryan Seacrest” broadcast. The country star will sing his new song, “Texas,” on the show, which airs starting at 8 p.m. December 31 on ABC-TV.

However, the performance will be pretaped. Most “Rockin’ Eve” performances are to keep technical glitches from halting the show. We’ll let you know if tickets to that taping become publicly available sometime in the next two weeks.
