Global superstar Alicia Keys’ first-ever Holiday Masquerade Ball is set to stream exclusively on Apple Music in partnership with TikTok tonight, December 21st, at 7:00p PST. The 15-time GRAMMY® Award-winner’s epic one-night-only hometown performance at The United Palace in New York — packed with glitter and glamour to celebrate the holiday season — will be available to stream for Apple Music subscribers in over 165 countries at apple.co/aliciakeys-aml. For the first time ever, fans will also be able to tune in to the show on Apple Music’s TikTok page @AppleMusic.

Keys’ acclaimed new holiday album ‘Santa Baby’ — released last month exclusively on Apple Music in immersive Spatial Audio — debuted on Billboard’s Top Holiday Albums chart upon release. The 11-track album features soulful, raw, and fresh reimaginations of holiday classics as well as four original songs, which Keys showcases during her Apple Music Live Holiday Masquerade Ball performance, in addition to a selection of fan favorites. 

During the rousing performance, Keys is joined onstage by breakout singer, songwriter, producer and 2022 TikTok Emerging Artist JVKE for a special rendition of his hit trending single "golden hour", which has generated nearly 375 million total streams, and is currently #15 at Top 40 radio and climbing. Later in the show, Academy Award-winning artist Jon Batiste joins Keys for a electric medley of covers which brings down the house, including Nina Simone‘s “Feeling Good” and Nat King Cole‘s “The Christmas Song”. 

Apple Music Live gives the biggest stars in music a global platform to connect with audiences around the world and has previously featured exclusive live performances from Harry Styles, Lil Durk, Mary J. Blige, Luke Combs, Billie Eilish, and Wizkid.
