Mariah Carey's Hot Tea Became 2018's First Meme
Mariah Carey returned to the stage at New Year's Rockin' Eve to see in 2018, and her performance was incredible. It was a major improvement on last year's show, which was widely panned as disastrous. It's safe to say that Mariah was back with aplomb, but there was just one thing missing: hot tea.
In a bizarre discussion before she started, Mariah lamented the fact that there was no hot tea for her drink on stage. She said, "They told me there would be tea. Oh, it's a disaster. Okay, well, we'll just have to rough it. I'm going to be like everybody else, with no hot tea." We're all just trying to make it through life without some hot tea, after all.
