Mariah Carey Signs Rihanna’s Breast at Christmas Concert: ‘This Is Epic’

Rihanna left Mariah Carey’s latest concert with more than just a T-shirt.

The “Lift Me Up” songstress attended Carey’s final stop on her Mariah Carey’s Christmas Time tour at the Barclays Center in New York City on Tuesday, December 17, and got the headliner to autograph her breast.

“I need a signature. Who has a Sharpie? Sign my tit!” Rihanna, 36, can be heard telling Carey, 55, as she waded through the crowd in a video circulating on social media.

Carey then penned her first name with a red Sharpie on Rihanna’s breast. The Bajan singer took Carey’s microphone and declared to the audience, “Mariah Carey is signing my tit, y’all! This s— is f—ing epic!” Rihanna then showed off her prized new autograph to the camera and the two stars embraced in a hug.

Tuesday’s final performance marked Carey’s return to the stage after coming down with the flu earlier this month. Carey was forced to cancel her December 11 concert in Pittsburgh just hours before she was due to take the stage at the PPG Paints Arena.

“Pittsburgh, I am sorry to say, I’ve come down with the flu. It breaks my heart that I unfortunately have to cancel tonight’s show. I love you all so much,” she wrote in a message via X.

Two days later, Carey canceled two more shows scheduled for Friday, December 13, and Sunday, December 15, respectively, in Newark, New Jersey, and Belmont Park, New York. “Newark and Belmont – I wish I had better news but unfortunately I’m still sick and have to cancel the shows tonight and on Sunday. I’m really devastated about it and appreciate your support. Love, MC,” she shared via X.

But on Monday, December 16, the star confirmed she would perform Tuesday at the Barclays Center. “Lambs, thank you for making my #Christmastime so special ❤️ I’ve loved singing with you every night, and I can’t wait to see you all tomorrow in Brooklyn for the last show of the tour,” she wrote via Instagram.

The Queen of Christmas is also celebrating her classic holiday anthem, “All I Want for Christmas Is You,” reaching 16 nonconsecutive weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, 30 years after it was first released. The song’s run now ties another of Carey’s hits, “One Sweet Day,” which featured Boyz II Men and held the No. 1 spot for 16 weeks between 1995 and 1996.
