Following Carey’s performance, Beyoncé’s halftime show took place in Houston, Texas, where she debuted songs from “Cowboy Carter” alongside notable guests like Shaboosie, Post Malone, and her daughter Blue Ivy Carter.

Mariah’s Concert Moments

Before this performance aired, Carey made headlines by signing Rihanna’s chest at her latest Christmas concert in New York City earlier this month. Dressed in a fur coat, white tank top, black sunglasses, and a red sweater, she approached the front row where the “Diamonds” hitmaker stood to offer an autograph.

“Call my chest because my man made me come and get it,” the “Stay” singer shared. Carey inquired, “What do you want me to write?” to which Rihanna responded, “Mariah. What the hell are you thinking? What do you want. Wow, that’s iconic.” Rihanna then took the microphone and shouted, “Mariah Carey signs my boobs, y’all.”

This year’s Christmas tour also marks the 30th anniversary of Carey’s iconic 1994 album “Merry Christmas” and her holiday classic “All I Want for Christmas Is You.”

In other news from her tour, a brawl reportedly erupted during her performance at Baltimore’s CFG Bank Arena in Maryland on Saturday (December 7), marking the second such incident during her tour.
