“Y’all look at Mariah’s reaction while Muni Long was singing a tribute to her. I am hollering,” one user wrote with crying emojis, inferring that Carey was specifically reacting to the “We Belong Together” cover. Other fans aren’t buying that, however, with some saying the moment was more about Mariah herself and less about the performers on stage.

Mariah Carey did not appear impressed by the musical tributes to her during the 2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards. The “We Belong Together” singer, 55, was honored on Monday night at LA’s Dolby Theater – and one clip of Carey has since gone viral.
