I can’t believe I’m getting my first VMA tonight. I just have one question. Mariah Carey calling out the MTV Video Music Awards mid acceptance speech. The celebrated singer on stage to accept the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award where Mimi made a point to mention her curious BMA stats. more than three decades in the industry, 16 studio albums to her name, and yet the honorary Moonperson trophy becoming her first ever VMA win. Thank you so much, MTV, for giving me the Vanguard Award. I can’t believe I’m getting my first VMA tonight. I just have one question. What in the Sam hell were you waiting for? I’m kidding. I love you, MD. I love you. I love you so much. This is amazing. Yeah, Mariah still got love for the awards ceremony, which saw the music icon slaying a six song medley of fan favorite bangers, complete with a mid-performance outfit switch, going from a champagne colored silk robe with feathers to a golden romper plastered with shimmering rhinestones. Ariana Grande on hand to introduce and present the annual honor with Ari even bowing to the Queen of Christmas herself on stage. To top off Mariah’s night, she was also snapped with the show’s unexpectedly fan favorite guest, a custommade moon person, Le Boooo. [Music]

MC BABY!
Shame on the MTV! π
And this is how itβs better to watch as things happen, rather than to read headlines like this. Making it sound as if she was up there cussing people out
She can get away with that because of her legendary superstar status. Love her!
Such class.
She's too cute.. congratulations finally.. Natural Born Hitters π ten all begins πβ―οΈπππ
βQueen of Christmasβ??? Baby thatβs the Queen of RnB music
Sheβs pulling a Beyawnse! πππ
Before she was Queen of Christmas, she was Queen of R&B. Why do people always forget that one
There's a reason she can't sell out big venues around the world like how Taylor, Madonna, Celine, Whitney etc have done. Something about her is quite unappealing and her entitled attitude is one thing, among few several things.
Mariah Carey, I freaking love u! U r hilarious as u always be! Hehe
La verdadera estrella del pop β€

She's right. She has had HUGE hits.
She has always been solid gold β€
Mariah been on MTV so many times, I'd be curious too! Just like how she got her 1st BET award. But they're special awards for Icons! Congratulations ππΎ π better late than never π©·
She was robbed for so many years, this industry doesnβt recognize real talent π She is the Legend of Legends and needs to be protected at all costs β€β€β€β€We love you Mariah !!
