Twitter Roasts Mariah Carey For 'Disaster' Hot Tea Moment During New Year's Performance
"Mariah Carey demanding hot tea is exactly how I hoped the year would begin."
Mariah Carey returned to Times Square on Sunday to redeem herself after last year's widely panned performance on "Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest."
While fans seemed impressed by the star's return to the stage and her commitment to singing throughout her appearance, they were particularly taken with Carey's demand for hot tea halfway through her set.
The icon then seemed to rally, despite the lack of hot liquids, and assured the crowd that she'd go on.
"OK, well we'll just have to - I'm just going to be like everybody else with no hot tea.
Nevertheless, folks on Twitter had fun commenting on the hot tea moment.
