Mariah Carey and her two children came to the White House this week to look at the Christmas decorations. President Joe Biden posted a video of meeting her on X on Wednesday, and it’s already gotten over 2.9 million views.
The video begins with Biden greeting Carey. He says, “Hello, Mariah, how are you?” She shakes his hand with a smile and says, “Hello, sir.”
The president says, “I’m a fan,” and Carey responds, “I’m a fan.”
Then pulling out his phone, Biden says, “I just want you to know ...” and he starts playing “All I Want For Christmas Is You.”
As the music plays, he takes the pop star and her 12-year-old twins on a tour to see the White House Christmas decorations.
On Instagram, Carey posted several photos from the experience. She said, “Last week I had the pleasure of meeting President Biden & Vice President Harris at the White House to ring in the holiday season! While there, we got to see all the festive decor and spread some cheer! 🎄❄️☃️”
Carey also made a trip to the Library of Congress while in Washington, D.C. Earlier in 2023, her hit song “was inducted into the recording registry, earning a forever home in the Library as part of the country’s official heritage in music and sound recordings,” per the Library of Congress.
