Mariah Carey Announces Her Merry Christmas Tour
It’s not even Halloween yet in Southwest Florida, but it is already beginning to look a lot like Christmas. That’s because of a big announcement by the self-proclaimed queen of the winter holiday. Mariah Carey announces her Merry Christmas tour dates and tickets go on sale this week. Presale is October 4th and general ticket sales open on October 6th. The Merry Christmas One and All Tour! kicks off November 15th in California but she has lots of dates on the east coast. Now is the time to make travel plans to catch Carey sing her iconic holiday songs live.
Last year, she lost a battle to trademark the title of Queen of Christmas, but we don’t need a court document to know that she indeed sits on that throne. The superstar gets into the spirit every holiday season with cheeky videos and announcements on social media that her fans wait for. Once the calendar flips from October to November it is officially the Christmas season. Mariah has been seen in videos smashing pumpkins with baseball bats while dressed in a red sequin gown. Last years she dressed as a witch and rode a Peloton bicycle into Christmas. She made the concert tour announcement on the former Twitter yesterday, now X.
