Mariah Carey to Livestream Final Vegas Show on TikTok and Apple Music

A groundbreaking collaboration between TikTok, Apple Music, and Gamma will bring Mariah Carey’s holiday magic directly to fans worldwide, culminating in a livestream of her final performance from her Las Vegas residency. The special event underscores Carey’s enduring influence on the holiday season and expands access to her music for a global audience.

Carey’s “Mariah Carey’s Here for It All Holiday Special” will be broadcast live from Dolby Live at Park MGM Las Vegas on Saturday, December 13, at 11 p.m. Eastern Time/8 p.m. Pacific Time. The performance, following the release of her latest album, “Here For It All” via Gamma, will be available in high definition on both TikTok Live and Apple Music. Apple Music subscribers will have exclusive access to watch the show on demand following the initial livestream.

“It’s time! Christmas is my favorite time of year, and I love celebrating it with my fans – whether they’re in Vegas with me or singing along on TikTok and Apple Music from home!” Carey shared in a statement. “I’m so excited to bring all the sparkle and joy of the show to the world through Apple Music and TikTok.”

The partnership highlights the growing synergy between traditional music artists and emerging social media platforms. This livestream represents a strategic move to reach a wider demographic, particularly younger audiences who actively engage with music content on TikTok. The reach of Carey’s music on the platform is already substantial; videos featuring her iconic song, “All I Want For Christmas Is You,” have amassed over 130 billion views on TikTok, cementing its status as a modern holiday standard.

Looking beyond the immediate holiday season, Carey’s contributions to the music industry have been formally recognized. She has been named MusiCares’ Person of the Year, an honor bestowed annually upon an artist who has made significant contributions to the music community. The 35th annual MusiCares benefit gala will be held at the Los Angeles Convention Center on Friday, January 30, 2026, two nights before the 2026 Grammy Awards at the Crypto.com Arena. This recognition underscores Carey’s decades-long career and her ongoing philanthropic efforts within the music industry.

The livestream event and MusiCares honor collectively demonstrate Mariah Carey’s continued relevance and impact as a global music icon, bridging generations and platforms with her timeless artistry.
