However, things didn't go as planned. Carey's team had reportedly been struggling to get the sound equipment to work properly, and the singer was visibly frustrated and upset during the performance. At one point, she stopped singing and told the audience, "I'm not going to be put in a position where I'm not able to do what I do."

The performance was met with a mix of confusion, disappointment, and even some laughter from the crowd. Carey's team later released a statement apologizing for the technical issues and saying that they were working to resolve the problems.

Despite the mishap, Carey's performance became a viral sensation, with many people poking fun at the situation and creating memes and jokes about it. The incident has since become a memorable moment in pop culture history, and Carey has even poked fun at it herself in interviews and on social media.

In the end, Carey's New Year's Eve performance may not have gone as planned, but it certainly made for an unforgettable moment in pop culture history!
