Diana Ross

Sequins, mirror balls, and Diana Ross—New Year's gets flipped "Upside Down"

Ushering 2025 in sequins and sequins alone, Diana Ross steps onto the ‘New Year’s Rockin’ Eve’ stage and lets loose with “I’m Coming Out,” an anthem that echoes louder every January 1st than it does any Pride Month playlist.

She follows with “Upside Down,” flipping through disco rhythms as if time hadn't passed and mirror balls never went out of style. No balloon drop necessary—Ross provides the glitter herself.

Diana Ross, 81, brings capes, quips, and Motown memories to Hollywood Bowl

Aged 81 but dodging clichés of nostalgia, Diana Ross takes the Hollywood Bowl with the poise of someone who’s been announcing she’s “Coming Out” since before most of the audience was born. Her voice, steady if sly, slips through Supremes hits and her solo catalog with calculated ease.

Wearing a yellow cape, she winks at her own legacy while video montages lay out family ties and Motown history. Daughter Rhonda briefly steals the mic; Tracee watches from the wings.
