Mariah Carey Gifts Front-Row Tickets To Fan Who Saved Up For Years For Concert

Mariah Carey made one lucky fan's dream come true this holiday season.

The 52-year-old "All I Want For Christmas Is You" singer gave a devoted fan, who had been saving up for years to see Carey in concert, free front-row tickets to watch her "Merry Christmas to All!" show at Madison Square Garden Tuesday night.

Before Twitter user @uruguayanlamb, whose display name is Mai, received the tickets, she shared via Twitter Monday that she was flying thousands of miles from her home country of Uruguay to New York City just to see her "idol" perform live.

"I remember when I started saving for this day 5 years ago, wishing and hoping for this day. Words can't describe my happiness [right now], love [you] forever Mimi!" Mai wrote in the tweet.

Much to her surprise, Carey replied to her tweet hours later, offering Mai front-row seats to Tuesday night's show.

"I am so happy you're going to be here! How would you like to sit in the front row for tonight's concert??" Carey wrote on Twitter, to which Mai responded, "Mimi making my wish come true, not only acknowledging my existence but inviting me to her show??? When I told you several times before she is the most devoted artist to her fans, I was being serious!!! I'm so happy [right now]."

Mai later documented the event on Twitter. Just before the show began, she posted a photo of herself sitting in the front row at Madison Square Garden, ready to have the "time of my life."

She also posted some clips of the Grammy winner's performance and revealed that Carey "dedicated" a song to her during the show, though she did not indicate which song it was.

"THE Mariah Carey just dedicated me a song. Whaaat I'm dreaming, I was at the front row at her right when I tell you the floor [shook] while she sang 'Fly Like A Bird,' Lord only knows!!!!! HER power!!!" Mai tweeted alongside two close-up photos of the singer sporting a red dress and two videos of Carey performing "All I Want For Christmas Is You," which has accumulated more than a billion streams on Spotify.

"Thank you, Mimi, for giving me the most amazing experience of my life," the fan concluded.

Carey will conclude her 2022 "Merry Christmas to All!" tour Friday with her second show at the Madison Square Garden.

The tour was scheduled for a four-day Yuletide season run, according to The New York Post. She first performed two shows at Toronto's Scotiabank Arena on Dec. 9 and Dec. 11, before flying back to New York City.

Carey's sweet interaction with her fan came after the singer reached another milestone in her career when her 1994 classic holiday single returned to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for the fourth consecutive year. It first made its way to the top of the chart in December 2019, according to Billboard.

This week's chart also featured other Christmas classics, including Brenda Lee's "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" at No. 2, Bobby Helms' "Jingle Bell Rock" at No. 3, Burl Ives' "A Holly Jolly Christmas" at No. 4 and Wham!'s "Last Christmas" at No. 9.
