Mariah Carey Celebrates New Year’s Eve With Bryan Tanaka At Nikki Beach In St. Barth’s

On New Year’s Eve, Mariah Carey hit the stage at Nikki Beach in Saint Barth with a glass of Perrier-Jouët champagne in hand.

“It was a night I’ll remember for a long, long time. I feel so fortunate to have hosted New Year’s Eve in the middle of paradise at Nikki Beach Saint Barth,” Carey told Metro.

While on stage, the 48-year-old sang for over an hour to a crowd of guests who danced and sang along to her hits, including “Hero,” “Always Be My Baby” and “We Belong Together.”

Carey, who hosted the exclusive event, was joined by friends including boyfriend Bryan Tanaka.

The couple reportedly stayed at the event for four hours and had a sit-down dinner. 

This event was one of the island’s first major events since hurricane Irma, which tore through the Caribbean in August and September 2017.

Carey’s New Year’s Eve performance at Nikki Beach comes after her 2016 Times Square performance for Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve, in which she faced backlash after appearing to be off with her lip syncing.
