New Year’s Eve looked a lot different this year. Many people decided to forgo large gatherings and ring in 2021 at home with their friends and/or loved ones.
That also rang true for several country music artists. Some had low-key dinner parties, others celebrated the new year in their pajamas and some even escaped the Tennessee winter to a tropical destination with friends.
No matter where they celebrated the new year, however, it’s safe to say that everyone was ready to bid farewell to 2020.
Many artists took to Instagram to say goodbye to 2020 and share their hopes for the new year that lies ahead.
Here’s a look at some of the best photos from New Year’s Eve 2020.
