Is this the time of year for harmony, happiness, and a boisterous fight? During Mariah Carey’s recent Christmas show in Saint Louis, Missouri, two fans engaged in an unplanned holiday brawl while the Queen of Christmas sang her well-known song, “All I Want for Christmas Is You.”
A brunette woman decided to provide some hands-on holiday happiness by pushing a blonde woman in front of her in a video that is currently trending on social media (because why simply deck the halls when you can go viral?). In typical Christmas fashion, the blonde responded by saturating her attacker with the remaining contents of her beverage. There was a flurry of swats, and in the background, someone yelled the night’s most understandable sentiment: Where’s security?
Mariah, blissfully oblivious, kept singing to her audience as though nothing was going on. Nothing screams “all I want for Christmas” like having a front row ticket to someone else’s holiday drama.
Currently on her Christmas Timetour, Mariah, the reigning Queen of Christmas, is commemorating 30 dazzling years since the release of her Merry Christmas album and that catchy tune that we hear on everything from shower radios to shopping malls. Before winding up in time for Santa’s big night, she will visit places including Boston, Baltimore, and Brooklyn. Her 20-date tour began on November 6 in Highland, California.
Naturally, “All I Want for Christmas Is You” is a Diamond Award-winning hit song and not your typical holiday song. Mariah is the only performer to achieve 10 million sales and streaming of a holiday song in the United States in 2021. She remarked at the time, probably not realizing that it may one day be used as the background music for a holiday fight, “The love for this song amazes me every year.”
The turmoil didn’t stop with slaps and spilled drinks, as evidenced by another concert footage. When the women’s partners attempted to step in, they pushed one another, which only made the situation worse. All I Want for Christmas Is You turns out to be adaptable; it may be used for both first dances and first punches.
Mariah recently released her yearly Christmas launch video, which dramatically switches from Morticia Addams style to Santa glam, adding to the merry irony. Instead of transforming a Christmas concert into WrestleMania: Holiday Edition, the boisterous concertgoers should have learned from Mariah’s seamless transition.
What is the story’s lesson, then? Mariah’s music may bring people together, but it doesn’t mean you won’t get into a heated argument over excellent concert seats. Holy cow!
