Though not the winner of the most recent American Idol (Scotty McCreery took that title), runner-up Laura Alaina will be appearing on television once again when she performs during Fox’s New Year’s Eve special.

Reports TV Line:

Cowboy hats and 2012 spectacles will be in fashion when Fox rings in the New Year with a country-themed telecast starring Lauren Alaina and Rodney Atkins, TVLine has learned exclusively.

American Country New Year’s Eve Live (11:00 ET live) will focus on festivities from the Las Vegas strip and New York City’s Times Square; additional performers and a host will be announced soon, according to a Fox spokesperson.

Do you think you’ll be tuning into this special, or will one on another network capture your attention?
