Mariah Carey gave one of her devoted fans the greatest Christmas gift of all - free front-row tickets to her Madison Square Garden "Merry Christmas to All!" show Tuesday night. Twitter user @uruguayanlamb, whose display name is Mai, posted on Twitter Monday that she was flying more than 10 hours from her home country to see her favorite artist live in concert in New York City.
"I remember when I started saving for this day 5 years ago, wishing and hoping for this day. Words can't describe my happiness, love you forever Mimi!" Mai wrote in the tweet.
Then, the unthinkable happened: Carey herself retweeted Mai's post and offered her the primo tickets 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.
Mai responded in shock, adding that she is "soooo happy". "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," Mai said.
Just before the show Tuesday, Mai posted a picture of herself sitting in the front row at MSG, ready to have "the time of my life thanks to Mariah Carey". Mai posted some videos of the concert to her Twitter account, clearly showing that the Christmas-singing superstar followed through on her offer of front-row seats.
She added that Carey "dedicated me a song" during the show, but did not say which song. "What I'm dreaming, I was at the front row at her right, when I tell you the floor shaked while she sang Fly Like a Bird, Lord only knows," Mai tweeted, along with some photos of Carey on stage in a red gown and two video clips of her performing "All I Want For Christmas Is You".
"Her power," Mai gushed on Twitter after the show. "Thank you Mimi for giving me the most amazing experience of my life."
