The pop star kicked off her Las Vegas residency with a pair of shows on Dec. 30 and Dec. 31 ahead of 2024, where she performed a career-spanning set.

On New Year's Day, Aguilera shared her gratitude for the experience on Instagram.

“✨ Tonight marks the beginning of a new chapter. I couldn’t think of a better way to bid farewell to this incredible year than to spend this night in LAS VEGAS with all of you, surrounded by your energy and enthusiasm. Cheers to the magical moments we’ll create, the music that will fill our hearts, and the endless possibilities that lie ahead🥂," she wrote in a caption alongside a video montage of the past year.

In late December, she revealed a sneak peek rehearsal video of her residency in an Instagram clip of her singing “Guy What Takes His Time” from Burlesque, the 2010 film she made with Cher.

As the "Beautiful" artist practices the movie musical number, she flaunts her towering vocals and dance moves.
