Mariah Carey, a.k.a. the “Queen of Christmas,” performed in front of a record-breaking crowd of over 100,000 attendees at Rock in Rio. The concert occurred at Allianz Parque Stadium in São Paulo, Brazil this past weekend.

The best-selling singer-songwriter was the final act on the Sunset Stage at the music festival, delivering an unforgettable performance.

Fans gathered to witness the iconic “Fantasy” singer at this sold-out show, who also made “herstory” by performing one of the longest sets ever seen on the Sunset Stage. Despite the recent loss of both her mother and sister on the same day, Carey still took the stage just a mere three weeks after the tragedy.

Her setlist included some fan-favorite songs, such as ‘Obsessed,” “Touch My Body,” and “We Belong Together.” While performing these chart-topping singles, she wore an eye-catching green bedazzled dress with the image of the Brazilian flag.

On August 9, Mariah Carey announced her upcoming “Christmas Time Tour” around major cities in the United States, in honor of the 30-year anniversary of “All I Want For Christmas Is You.” Learn more about the tour here.
