Mariah Carey’s ‘hot tea’ moment is officially the first meme of 2018

We expect nothing less.

Mariah Carey has just made herself into a meme. Yep, the singer had a bit of a moment before her performance on New Year's Eve, where she walked on stage and then proceeded to ask where her hot tea was. She said: "They told me there would be tea. Oh, it's a disaster. Okay, well, we'll just have to rough it. I'm going to be like everybody else, with no hot tea." Have a look at the moment here:

The first time life throws you a curve in 2018 just remember: Mariah Carey made it through without her hot tea. You can make it through too.
