Mariah Carey Says She Is ‘So Grateful’ for Christmas Tour: ‘Memories That Will Last a Lifetime’

Christmas #Christmas

Mariah Carey is feeling grateful after her Christmas tour!

The legendary songstress, 54, reflected on her successful Merry Christmas One and All! tour in a post on Friday as she shared a behind-the-scenes video of her on tour after performing her final concert last weekend.

“This tour has given me memories that will last a lifetime!” Carey wrote in the caption. “I’m so grateful to everyone who made it happen — the creative team, crew, band, dancers, singers, the incredible guests and of course YOU — the fans! I love you!!”

“Early Merry Christmas One and All! ❤️🎄🎁,” the singer added. 

At the beginning of the video, Carey sat on a couch in a festive red gown with a sweeping train as her holiday hit “All I Want for Christmas Is You,” played over the top. “It’s Christmas!” the singer said before a montage of clips from the tour played. 

During the video, Carey got make-up ready in a dressing room and performed onstage with Jennifer Hudson, Ariana Grande, Busta Rhymes, and Da Brat. She also greeted Kim and Khloé Kardashian backstage after the pair attended her concert with their children recently.

Carey’s twins Moroccan and Monroe, 12, — who joined their mom on tour — also appeared in the video. Moroccan was first seen looking nervous backstage before performing solo. Monroe, meanwhile, appeared with Carey onstage as they held hands and sang together. 

Carey said she is “grateful” for the success of her Christmas tour.

In a rare behind-the-scenes family moment, Carey ate snacks in bed with the twins as their pet dogs joined them. Another clip showed Carey leading her tour members in a line backstage as she held hands with Moroccan and Monroe. 

A final zoomed-in shot revealed Carey’s sparkly gold-decorated Christmas tree. 

Carey concluded her Christmas tour last weekend in New York City after 16 shows. The festive tour began on Nov. 15 and it was the first time the singer had performed her Christmas show nationally.

Following her time on the road, Carey — who appeared to have split from boyfriend Bryan Tanaka recently — is focused on “having a fun holiday” with children, Moroccan and Monroe, shared with ex-husband Nick Cannon, a source told PEOPLE earlier this week.

“Mariah is thriving this Christmas,” the insider said. “She’s feeling good and is in fully festive Mariah mode. She’s thrilled with the success of the tour with her kids and work she’s already done on her next album.”
