Mariah Carey to Headline Opening Ceremony of Milan Cortina 2026 Olympic Games

Mariah Carey is set to headline the opening ceremony of the Milan Cortina 2026 Olympic Games. The announcement was made by the Olympic Games on social media, revealing that Carey will be one of the main performers at the Milano San Siro Olympic Stadium on February 6. Known for her iconic voice and musical legacy that transcends generations and cultures, Carey's participation in the ceremony will embody the theme of harmony.

This won't be Carey's first involvement with the Olympics, as she previously contributed to the 2010 Vancouver Games by releasing the song "100%" to support Team USA. Additionally, Carey holds a world record for being the first artist to achieve U.S. No. 1 singles across four decades, with her timeless holiday classic "All I Want for Christmas Is You" contributing to this milestone.

The 2026 Winter Games are scheduled to take place in Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy, from February 6 to February 22. With Mariah Carey's upcoming performance at the opening ceremony, the event is expected to kick off with a memorable and harmonious celebration of music and sports.
