The tour starts on November 6 in Highland, California and wraps on December 17th in Brooklyn. 

When her album Merry Christmas, which contains her biggest hit, was released in 1994 it was a massive hit, going on to sell 15 million copies. 

All I Want For Christmas is You is the most popular holiday song in the world. 

The song, which reportedly only took 15 minutes to write and compose, generates an estimated $600,000 per year in royalties for Mariah. 

With global sales of over 16 million, the song is Carey’s biggest international success, and the best-selling Christmas single by a female artist overall.

Earlier this week, Mariah took her kids Monroe and Moroccan, 13, – who she shares with ex-husband Nick Cannon– to see Olivia Rodrigo, 21, on her GUTS World Tour.

All three have admitted to being huge fans of the Vampire singer and they were over the moon at the opportunity to meet her. 

The Fantasy singer shared snaps from the evening on Instagram and captioned the post, ‘We are OBSESSED with @oliviarodrigo,’ followed by a fire and red heart emoji.

The Obsessed songstress later jumped to her Instagram Stories to give her 13.4 million followers a closer glimpse of her night.

Mariah could be seen striking a quick pose inside a hallway as her oversized shirt glittered under the bright lights.

Olivia previously hinted that she was a fan of Mariah during an interview with Wired last year when she answered most searched questions about herself on Google.

At one point, the beauty was asked if she is a ‘good singer,’ to which she replied with, ‘I hope so! God, I’m no Mariah Carey or anything, but I’d like to hope that I convey some emotion in my voice and that’s what counts.’
