KATSEYE Pays Tribute to Mariah Carey in Halloween-Themed 'Gabriela' Music Video
KATSEYE, a rising pop group, recently released a Halloween-themed music video for their song "Gabriela," which reached No. 40 on the Billboard Hot 100. The video features Saturday Night Live star Bowen Yang spoofing Billboard's Kyle Denis and asking the group about their favorite Mariah Carey music videos. The members of KATSEYE showcase iconic Carey looks in a fashion show within the video, paying homage to the singer's most memorable music video outfits. Each member models a different Carey-inspired costume, with Yang introducing Bianca, Carey's music video alter ego, as the ultimate "Gabriela."
The group's dance performance of "Gabriela" in the video includes each member wearing a Rainbow tank top, white booty shorts, and black knee-high boots. The video concludes with Yang acknowledging KATSEYE's love for Mariah Carey and their impressive knowledge of her music videos. The Halloween-themed video not only showcases the group's creativity and style but also highlights their passion for Carey's music.
KATSEYE's "Gabriela" music video not only celebrates their admiration for Mariah Carey but also marks a full-circle moment for the group.

The video serves as a fun and festive tribute to Carey's influence on the group's music and style, showcasing their talent and creativity in a unique and entertaining way.
