Mariah Carey burst into song after receiving her first dose of the Coronavirus vaccine.
The Obsessed singer was given her first injection over the weekend and celebrated with one of her trademark high notes in a fun clip shared to Instagram.
While the diva was informed about the procedure, she kept talking, saying: “This is distracting them from doing their job, but you know how I am, I just talk and don’t really think about it.”
Reflecting on a year of the pandemic – which she kicked off with a viral online video of her and her twins Moroccan and Monroe washing their hands together, she continued: “Here we are, all the way from that first post … trying to encourage people to be really safe, and, you know we’re still in this battle together.”
When the vaccine was finished and taken out of her arm, there wasn’t any blood, with Mimi joking it was proof that she is “actually a vampire”.
She captioned the tongue-in-cheek post: “Vaccine side effect: G6.”
The Fantasy hitmaker previously insisted getting Covid could end her career.
Explaining why she couldn’t sit for a deposition in regard to a court case with her former assistant, her team insisted: “Covid-19 presents risks to all people, including lung damage, heart damage, organ failure, and death.
“Unique to Mariah, however, is the potential career-ending impact of any lung damage.”
Despite the pandemic, 2020 was a busy year for the star, who dropped her top-selling memoir, The Meaning of Mariah Carey, and celebrated three decades since her chart-topping debut album.
Along with vinyl reissues of her entire discography, up until 2014’s Me. I Am Mariah. The Elusive Chanteuse., she also released The Rarities – an album of outtakes, B-sides and live cuts.
In our review of the album, Retro Pop said Mariah “more than proves she’s earned her ‘icon’ status” across its 15 tracks.
