Mariah Carey's diva demands at Summertime Ball before fans leave stadium early
Pop legend Mariah Carey's diva demands have been revealed with some interesting requests being made by the notorious diva at Capital's Summertime Ball at Wembley Stadium on Sunday. Mariah was the closing act of the night and appeared to be playing to an 'empty' stadium with some fans leaving early, according to footage on TikTok.
Mariah took the stage alongside the hottest artists, including Jade, Benson Boone, Tate McRae, and Will Smith, with a surprise performance from JLS. The 56-year-old confidently took the stage in the UK for the first time in six years and host S ian Welby let slip that Mariah changed her dressing room before her performance to be labelled 'Mimi's World'.
The presenter told The Sun: 'We will do what we're told. When it comes to Mariah, she is the boss. She's changed the whole dressing room to just be called Mimi's World. Doesn't even have Capital branding anymore. It's all her zone'.
Co-host Chris Stark added that Will Smith was the 'most chilled'. He said: 'Will Smith by the way is the most chilled, like he's just wandering around. He was in catering, he just went and sat himself down and got himself some food'. The Mirror have reached out to Mariah Carey's representatives for comment.
A video posted online showed Mariah performing to a stadium with gaps in the audience and empty seats, along with the caption: "Mariah Carey playing to a almost empty stadium". Fans were quick to comment and address that the gig was on a Sunday which means public transport stops early and people would need to get home.
One person said: "The reality is its a Sunday, and in the UK, last trains (and everything) stops early Sunday. Any act if the last act after 10pm is going to have reduced crowd as folks need to catch that last train home if they didn't drive or don't live locally".
Last year, it was reported that the star was being a 'diva' during her Christmas Time Tour as she allegedly would not go on the tour with any 'unattractive dancers', with a source claiming to MailOnline that she was 'being so extra'.
The source said at the time: 'Mariah is just being so extra this year. She is getting paid an insane amount of money. Rehearsals started at the end of September as she wants it to be the grandest tour yet. One of her requests was that her main backup dancers are all "hot" men. She did not want any unattractive dancers.'
The source continued: 'She also requested hair and makeup for the rehearsals. Everyone who is directly involved in the production has been asked not to speak to Mariah or take photos with her.'
Mariah closed the Summertime Ball and sang some of her greatest and most popular tracks, including 'Touch My Body', 'We Belong Together', and Always Be My Baby'.
Fans couldn't get enough of Mariah being back in the UK, with many claiming it was her 'best vocals in years'. One person took to social media and said: 'Mariah at the #SummerTimeBall - best live vocals from her in years…and hit after hit after hit. Bring on Brighton Pride,' while a second added: 'Mariah killed it at the #Summertimeball looking and sounding incredible.'

Flight attendant reveals little-known spot where cabin crew sleep on planes
A flight attendant has shared the little-known resting place for cabin crew on long-haul plane journeys - and social media users have been left seriously impressed. Charlie Silver, who works as cabin crew for TUI, gave viewers a closer look at the cozy sleeping quarters in a TikTok video recently uploaded to her account, @silvercharlie. In the clip, captioned 'Sleeping at 40,000ft in the sky,' the UK-based flight attendant revealed cabin crew are able to doze off in specifically formulated bunk beds located above the main cabin. The hidden beds, often referred to as crew rest compartments, provide a dedicated space for rest during long-haul flights, ensuring crew members are refreshed and energised for their duties. They're usually designed with multiple bunks, stacked vertically, to accommodate several crew members and pilots simultaneously, though they normally take turns rotating. While some compartments are basic, others may offer a range of features, such as privacy curtains, reading lights, storage space, in-flight entertainment systems and even climate control. In the clip, Charlie can seen climbing into the bunk and demonstrating how she gets ready for a much-needed snooze. She starts by fitting a freshly washed and ironed sheet onto the mattress, before placing down three small pillows. The flight attendant then unfolds a blue fleece blanket, unties her neckerchief and hair tie and settles under the covers before fastening a seatbelt over the lower half of her body. Over 300 viewers flocked to the comments to share their thoughts, with many calling for the space to be offered to passengers. One person wrote: 'I'd pay good money to have one of these instead of a normal seat,' while another exclaimed, 'This is so cool!!!' Another said, 'Crew unable to sleep should do a sideline renting out to passengers. I'd love to lie down on a long haul flight,' while a fourth gushed, 'This looks so cosy!' Others were left baffled by the compartment's existence, as one quizzed: 'Why have I travelled long haul millions of times with TUI and never knew about these?' Another asked, 'Been on a TUI 787 many times, where on earth is this located on the plane?!?!' to which the flight attendant disclosed: 'People always think it's a toilet.' Meanwhile, a former flight attendant has shared his top tips for surviving economy travel and the one popular item he would never bring on board. Marcus Daniels, 35, left the aviation industry in 2019 after five years of working on countless domestic and international flights. Over 300 viewers flocked to the comments to share their thoughts, with many calling for the space to be offered to passengers Although his cabin crew days are behind him, Mr Daniels still enjoys travelling and has mastered his approach to long-haul flights. His number one piece of advice: 'Be very mindful of what you're bringing onboard'. 'There's nothing worse than being the last passenger onboard, opening up all the lockers and realising there's no space to put your bag,' he said. 'Overpacking just adds more stress to you, staff and other passengers. It's too much drama and chaos. When I travel I have my small roller bag and a little side bag I can put under the seat in front of me. That's it. No pillow, no big jacket.'
