Mariah Carey ended the new year with its iconic boldness. The 50-year-old diva broadcast CNN’s NYE broadcast to chat with Andy Cohen and Anderson Cooper at the height of 2021. Set in its own luxurious winter setting in Aspen, Colorado, it was clearly still Christmas time in Mariah’s world. She shone through a sea of holiday trees and bright lighting in a silver dress. While she talked about her gratitude for the continued success of All I want for Christmas is you, a sound from the other side of the country caught his attention.

“What’s going on in the background?” Mariah timidly asked. “I’m listening to music.” Andy responded quickly, with a gleam in his eyes passionate about the drama, saying, “Yes, we have JLo behind us, actually.” With that, Mariah just smiled. And so, the internet was on fire with the moment, turning it into something bigger, creating memes and creating quick tweets.
As you probably know, Mimi and JLo has a bumpy public history. Although we love nothing more than watching the two powers come together and support each other, it was not always so. It all started in the early 2000s, when Mariah claimed to have no knowledge of Jennifer during a German interview. “I don’t know her,” she said strangely when the moderator mentioned her name. Important note: this was followed by her singing Beyoncé praises.
While appearing in See what happens live years later, she stepped back a little. Mariah claims that she meant that they never met and therefore she doesn’t know her. Of course, the original interview question seemed like a simple attempt to assess his opinion of the internationally known celebrity. So, an “I don’t know her personally, but she seems in blank”It would have been enough.
