Mariah Carey Makes Big Career Announcement: 'Exciting News'

Mariah Carey has a special gift for her fans.

The powerhouse singer took to social media this week to give her followers an early Christmas present in the form of a new holiday tour.

"It's not time yet, but I have exciting news!!" the "Emotions" songstress wrote in her caption on Friday, Aug. 2, sharing a festive holiday photo to announce the big news.

"Mariah Carey's Christmas Time, my biggest holiday tour to date, is coming to 20 cities starting November 6, 2024!" Carey wrote while letting fans know, "Tickets go on sale next Friday, Aug 9! 🎄🎙️."

The new tour will hit up cities across the U.S., from Los Angeles, Calif., to Boston, Mass., and several between—and Carey's fans are ready.

"'it’s timeeeeeeee' 😍❄️," one of Carey's followers wrote in the comments, referring to the singer's viral video, where she sings in her famous whistle tone to officially introduce the holiday season.

Fans already look to Carey as the Queen of Christmastime, a title she cemented with her 1994 hit holiday song, "All I Want For Christmas Is You."

"*suddenly plays all i want for christmas is you*," one comment on Friday's post read.

"OMG CHRISTMAS CAME EARLY 🤍🎄❣️ CANT WAIT," another excited fan gushed.

But it's not officially the holiday season yet, and some fans weren't ready for the festive photo and Christmastime announcement.

"Girl it's not even October yet 😂😂," one fan wrote under the post, while another agreed, "It's only August Mariah, please just let us enjoy the summer first 😂😂😂."

But Carey knows her fan base well, and there were plenty of followers who were more than excited to skip right to the holiday season.

"Counting down the days until it’s timeeeeee! 🎄," another comment read.
