Mariah Carey Reveals She’s Performing At The Opening Ceremony For The 2026 Olympics

On Monday (December 15), Mariah Carey announced that she will be performing at the opening ceremony of the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan and Cortina d’Ampezzo, taking place on February 6 at the San Siro Stadium. The Queen of Christmas shared the exciting news in a glamorous Instagram video where she greeted fans in Italian by proclaiming, “CI VEDIAMO A MILANO!​,” which translates to “SEE YOU IN MILAN!” The five-time Grammy-winner’s performance is expected to be a highlight of the event, which follows the memorable opening ceremony of the 2024 Summer Games in Paris that featured Lady Gaga and Celine Dion. The announcement comes during Carey’s peak holiday season, as her iconic hit, “All I Want for Christmas Is You,” is spending its 20th week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, setting a record for most total weeks at No. 1 in Billboard chart history.
