Question about English (US)
As you recall, a year ago, Mariah's performance was a fiasco. She claims her audio failed, particularly her ear piece. She claimed the folks at Dick Clark Productions intentionally sabotaged her performance to spike ratings. Dick Clark Productions honchos said her claim was BS.
She now has a second chance and will perform just before the ball drops.
What does "the ball drops" mean in this context?

@Firewater_on_the_lam In New York they have a ceremony for the New Year and when the clock hits 12:00 AM the ball drops. Before this happens many celebrities come and perform. so I think that's what it is talking about.
