American singer Mariah Carey, 57, signed autographs and spoke with fans outside a churrascaria in the south zone of São Paulo on Monday, November 9, while in Brazil for two concerts on her Christmas Times tour.
Wearing an all-black outfit with a long pair of boots, the artist stopped at the door of the restaurant where she had dined to greet the Lambs, the name given to the legion of fans who follow her throughout her career.
Her Monday night appearance at the churrascaria, a traditional Brazilian steakhouse known for table-side grilled meats, came a day after she arrived in the country on Sunday, November 8, when supporters also gathered at the entrance of her hotel to welcome her.
Christmas Times tour and career hits
The trip marks the first time Carey will present her holiday show in Brazil. She created the Christmas Times special in 2024 to celebrate the 30th anniversary of her 1994 studio album Merry Christmas, touring North America before staging a Las Vegas residency in 2025 and taking the production to international venues this year.
Merry Christmas features Carey's 1994 festive single All I Want for Christmas Is You and remains one of the best-selling holiday albums in music history. Alongside seasonal classics from that record, the five-time Grammy Award winner performs major hits from across her catalog, including Hero, We Belong Together, Fantasy and Always Be My Baby.
São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro concert dates and tickets
Carey will perform the first of her two shows in Brazil's two largest cities on November 17 at Nubank Parque in São Paulo, followed by a second concert on November 21 at Farmasi Arena in Rio de Janeiro.
Tickets for the shows range in price from R$ 247.50 for a half-price general admission standing ticket up to R$ 9,995.00 for a full-price Cadeira Platinum Itaú Personnalité seat. Under Brazilian law, half-price admission, known locally as meia-entrada, is available to students, senior citizens and other qualifying groups.
