玛丽亚·凯莉将回归新年摇滚之夜

Mariah Carey is determined to have a better New Year’s Eve than in 2016 — she is returning to Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve With Ryan Seacrest after last year’s debacle*.

The Grammy-winning singer’s live performance in Times Square on New Year’s Eve 2016 was marked by problems. She was visibly* upset and at points stopped singing, despite a pre-recorded* track playing in the background. The performance went viral for all the wrong reasons.

Afterward, Carey posted a meme of herself on social media with the message “(expletive happens).” But it also led to a public spat between the bestselling singer and Dick Clark Productions as to who was at fault, with Carey’s camp charging sabotage* with technical glitches*, including a faulty ear piece, and Dick Clark Productions denying the claims and charging she hadn’t rehearsed enough.

Now, both sides have kissed and made up.

“We can all agree that last year didn’t go exactly as planned and we are thrilled to move forward together to provide the United States with an incredible night of music and celebration on Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve With Ryan Seacrest 2018,” a joint statement released to The Associated Press said. “See you in Times Square!”
