Mariah Carey Wins Icon Award, Sparks Viral Reaction at iHeartRadio Music Awards

News summary

At the 2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards, Mariah Carey was honored with the Icon Award, becoming the sixth entertainer to receive this accolade. During her acceptance speech, she humorously checked the lighting, stating, 'Is the lighting OK? Because I don’t like bad lighting,' and expressed her excitement about hearing her music on the radio. Carey also acknowledged her first manager, John Sykes, while subtly referencing her ex-husband, Tommy Mottola, during her speech. The night's performances included tributes from Tori Kelly and Muni Long, and a moment during Long's rendition of 'We Belong Together' went viral as Carey was caught giving a deadpan reaction. Social media users quickly shared their thoughts on Carey's apparent disinterest in the performances, turning her expression into a meme. Overall, the event celebrated Carey's prolific career and her lasting impact on the music industry.
