Keep smiling, keep shining, knowing that you can always count on Dionne Warwick to brighten your day.

The legendary chanteuse is kicking off 2022 with a performance on The Masked Singer's first float in the Rose Parade. Warwick shared the news on the hottest corner of the internet, her Twitter account and the network confirmed the news in a press release to EW:

Warwick memorably performed as Mouse on season 3 of the hit singing competition show. Though she didn't quite make it all the way to the finish line, the octogenarian icon will perform New Year's Day on the inaugural Masked Singer float with her son Damon Elliott, aka Nomad.

The float will feature larger-than-life recreations of Emmy Award-winning costume designer Marina Toybina's costumes, including Monster (season 1 winner T-Pain), Robot (Lil Wayne), Flower (Patti Labelle), Leopard (Seal), and Crocodile (Nick Carter). The float will also have some of the actual costumes worn by contestants on the show, like Warwick's Mouse, Hanson's Russian Dolls, LeAnn Rimes' Sun, and Wiz Khalifa's Chameleon.
