iHeartRadio Music Festival always runs the genre gamut, making hard left turns from the good-ol'-boy country of Jason Aldean to the sequin-covered R&B of Mariah Carey to the Dirty South hip-hop of Rae Sremmurd to the gypsy rock of Fleetwood Mac - and yet it works, because the artists all have one destination in common: the top of the Billboard charts.
Mariah Carey arrives for a showstopping performance, showing off her impossibly tiny waist in a blue sequin mini-dress and starting the night with "It's Like That". The set list is reliably festive, featuring her new single "GTFO", the classic "Emotions" and a medley of "Honey", "Shake It Off", "Obsessed" and "#Beautiful".
Following an outfit change for "GTFO", Carey is now in a new sparkly mini-dress topped with a dramatic sequin robe. The real treat comes with the last two songs: "Always Be My Baby" and "We Belong Together", which might as well be her Vegas theme song, since Mimi and Sin City are a perfect match.
