A video of Mariah Carey greeting Filipino fans waiting for her at Mall of Asia Arena goes viral
A TikTok video of global pop icon Mariah Carey greeting her Filipino fans in Manila is taking social media by storm.

During the show, Mariah dazzled the audience in a stunning ensemble designed by Filipino fashion icon Michael Cinco.
The five-time Grammy winner performed her timeless hits, including “Obsessed,” “We Belong Together,” “Always Be My Baby,” and the holiday favorite “All I Want for Christmas Is You.”
Mariah's connection with her Filipino fans, affectionately known as her “lambs,” has long been special.
In 2024, she made headlines for launching a Philippine-dedicated website in celebration of the country's famously early Christmas season. The site even featured links allowing fans to play “All I Want for Christmas Is You.”
The singer also sent her fans a heartfelt “Merry Christmas” greeting that year, continuing her tradition of embracing the Philippines' holiday spirit.
Back in 2023, Mariah jokingly acknowledged the country's early festive enthusiasm when her holiday classic began trending again on Spotify, saying, “I'll allow it for my Filipino lambs.”
Once again, the pop diva proved her enduring affection for her Filipino audience, both online and onstage.
