President Joe Biden and iconic singer Mariah Carey brought a festive atmosphere to the White House last week, as captured in a video showcasing their exploration of the Christmas decorations at the presidential residence, appearing online December 21.
The pop star, known for her enduring holiday hit “All I Want For Christmas Is You,” was accompanied by her 12-year-old twins, Moroccan and Monroe, for the special visit.
The video shared on Biden’s social media, features a light-hearted exchange between Biden and Carey, with mutual expressions of admiration. Biden, referring to himself as a fan, is seen initiating a festive mood by playing Carey’s famous Christmas song on his phone. In response, Carey expressed her love for the gesture, leading to a tour of the White House’s holiday decorations.
Carey’s visit to the White House, coming shortly after her performance in nearby Baltimore on December 15, was marked by several memorable moments. These included a photo opportunity with President Biden, where Carey and her twins posed with the President. Additionally, Carey was seen adding her touch to the White House Christmas tree, hanging an ornament while proclaiming, “That’s perfect.”
The singer documented her visit on Instagram, sharing her experience of meeting both President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. In her post, she described the visit as a chance to “ring in the holiday season” and appreciate the “festive decor” of the White House.
For her visit, Carey was dressed in a sparkling black minidress and a matching blazer, both adorned with pink and white borders, complementing her pink platform heels. Her son Moroccan wore tan corduroy pants, a white turtleneck, a red sweater, and a black sports coat, while Monroe chose a black-and-white checkered skater skirt, a white shirt, and a leather jacket.
However, the response to Carey’s White House visit was mixed online. While many fans celebrated the occasion, some internet users expressed disappointment, questioning the timing of the visit and its political implications.
