All Mariah wants for 2018 is… hot tea?
Mariah might have managed to emerge from her New Year’s Eve performance unscathed this time around. But, there was one thing she wasn’t thrilled about—the absence of hot tea. Oh dear.
A lip sync fail turned Mariah’s 2016 appearance on Dick Clark’s New Years Rockin’ Eve into an excruciatingly awkward disaster of epic proportions. But, things were looking up for Mariah one year on, performance-wise at least.
