In a moment that sent shockwaves through the crowd, Mariah Carey signed Rihanna’s chest during her final Christmas concert in Brooklyn. The unexpected encounter unfolded when Mariah, while performing on stage, spotted Rihanna in the audience and decided to make her way over for the unforgettable autograph session.
Rihanna, accompanied by A$AP Rocky and Jason Lee, was among the crowd at Mariah’s last Christmas Time Tour show. The superstar was seen joyfully singing along to hits like “We Belong Together” and “All I Want for Christmas Is You.” In an exciting twist, the “Umbrella” singer moved to the front row, catching Mariah’s attention.
Mariah was visibly surprised to spot Rihanna, exclaiming, “Is that her? Oh my gosh!” Rihanna playfully waved her hands and invited Mariah over, saying, “It’s me! I want an autograph!” Displaying both humour and skill, Mariah navigated the stairs backward to greet the pop icon, joking, “Doing this while walking backwards is a niche feat. I don’t ever want someone to say I’m a diva again!”
Rihanna was thrilled, announcing to the camera, “My man told me to do this,” referring to Rocky’s encouragement. As Mariah approached, Rihanna delightedly asked, “Should I have her sign my shirt or my t-t?” Opting for a cheeky moment, she went with the latter, telling Mariah, “Mariah, the f–k you think? Whatever you want. Wow, this is iconic!”
The excitement peaked when Mariah scribbled her signature on Rihanna’s chest. Grabbing the mic, Rihanna shared her elation with the audience, exclaiming, “Mariah Carey is signing my t-t, y’all! This s–t is f–king epic. Look at that s–t! Look at that s–t, y’all! I love you.”
Their joyful interaction ended with a warm embrace as Mariah returned to the stage, and Rihanna rejoined A$AP Rocky. This memorable night was just one of several surprise moments during Mariah’s holiday tour, which also included her twins surprising her with flowers onstage, celebrating the return of “All I Want for Christmas Is You” to the top of the charts.
