Mariah Carey announces performance at 2026 Winter Olympics Opening Ceremony

American pop icon Mariah Carey has confirmed her appearance at the 2026 Winter Olympics Opening Ceremony.

The 2026 Winter Olympics are set to take place at the Italian city of Milan.

On Monday, the pop star shared a video on her Instagram confirming her performance at the event.

Mariah began her message with Italian greeting saying “Ciao”.

“Get ready for Milano Cortina 2026. See you at the Stadium San Siro on the 6th of February for the Olympic opening ceremony. Ci vediamo a Milano”, the singer said.

The event will mark the beginning of the 25th Winter OLympics that have been going on since 1924 with a gap of 4 years.

A statement was shared with NBC by the Olympics local organizing committee who said that the pop icon “fully represents the emotional atmosphere that accompanies the run-up to the Games”.

“Music is a universal language that attracts different stories and sensibilities, and intertwines with the opening ceremony’s theme of harmony,” the committee added.

Mariah has been busy with gigs lately as she recently released her 16th studio album, Here for It All, in September.
