Mariah, the Queen of Christmas, don’t call me a diva, Carey, took the stage in Brooklyn at Barclays Center last week (12/17/24) to a Sold-Out crowd that included Rihanna and A$AP Rocky. For the third consecutive year, Mariah’s Christmas-themed extravaganza featured her iconic vocals, festive nature, and some of her biggest hits, “Hero,” “Fantasy,” “Dream Lover,” and “Always Be My Baby,” among others. A sing-a-long erupted as Mimi made her way down the stage to greet the crowd. She took selfies (on her good side) and signed albums (people still have physical albums; it’s not just me!). As in previous years, her children, Monroe and Rocky, graced the stage, performing during the interlude as Mariah changed outfits.
It was one of those moments that had everything: fans brought on stage to receive wrapped gifts from Mariah herself, and Rihanna getting her breasts signed. It was a time to remember. Hundreds of photos were taken by me including one that will now be among my favorites I’ve ever shot and it is of Mariah, on stage, dressed in white, with the choir behind her in robes, the photo taken from the crowd and framed by the shadow of the fans outstretched arms. The image makes it seem like Mariah was being worshipped (as she should be!). Follow us on Instagram to see more photos from the concert @sinistergirlz
