Carey, 56, appeared sporting a sparkling pink, blue and silver dress and matching jacket, matching the colours of the transgender flag, with 'protect the dolls' on the back.
Speaking about her connection to the LGBT+ community, she said: 'I feel like there's a mutual love between us.
'I kind of grew up in a situation where my mother had two friends, and they were my guncles (gay uncles), and nobody else in school had guncles or anybody, or if they did, they didn't talk about like the gay members of their family.
'So, I would put on plays for my guncles and do all this stuff. And, I think it was a thing that helped me in my life, being around people, all different people.'

The pop star, who releases her new album in September, also revealed that she has woken up to a full face of makeup, while on a plane.
After Mills told her of a singer who had their makeup done in their sleep, she said: 'That makes sense, and I have done that before when I'm sleeping on a plane and I was laying back and we were going from country to country, and my makeup artist, Kristofer Buckle, he would just do my face, and I would just be laying there.'
Asked if she woke up to 'full glam and hair', she said: 'Yep, hair too, because the hairdresser was there.'
The singer recently made headlines for saying ageing 'just doesn't happen' to her as she refuses to acknowledge the passing of time in an interview with Harper's Bazaar UK.
Since her career began in the late 1980s, Carey has had three UK number one singles and two UK number one albums.
She is perhaps best known for her evergreen festive track, All I Want For Christmas Is You.

Zoe Ball makes 'sad' revelation after brutal response from daughter Nelly
Zoe Ball's insight into her family life comes after her dad Johnny Ball made a revelation about her relationship with her ex-husband Fatboy Slim Zoe Ball has opened up about a "sad" shift in the bond with her daughter Nelly. The 54-year-old is mum to 24-year-old son Woody Cook, and Nelly, 14, with her former husband Norman Cook, who is better known as Fatboy Slim. Speaking about sleeping arrangements on her latest Dig It podcast episode with Jo Whiley, Zoe expressed disappointment over her daughter's reluctance to share overnight stays with her. The BBC Radio 2 host revealed: "I love going to sleep in the same bed as Nel. When she's here, I'm like, 'Do you want to stay the night? It's a girl's night - wanna stay the night?' "And it's really sad when she just looks at me and is like, 'No mother' and shuts the door. Or looks at me and says, 'No mother, go to bed now'. "And my favourite thing [is], if you do get to share a bed with your kids, sometimes, I know it sounds creepy, but just looking at their faces as they sleep, it doesn't matter how old they are, you look at them and I always have those moments of just remembering their faces when they were babies and it's like, 'Look at you, all grown up'." Zoe frequently offers followers glimpses into her home life through her Instagram account, which features snaps of her children, her well-known father Johnny Ball, and her late mum Julia. However, one thing she prefers to keep private from fans is details about her love life. In photographs shared by The Sun in June, the broadcaster was spotted clasping hands with an unknown gentleman at Glastonbury Festival. A source revealed to the publication: "Zoe is down at Glastonbury as a punter and has brought her new boyfriend along for the ride. "They seemed blissfully happy and were strolling along holding hands. "She was really smiling at him as they walked along and he was very protective of Zoe and put his hand across her back. "People were doing double takes at her bloke though because he looks a lot like Fatboy. It's so great to see Zoe smiling again." Zoe was married to Fatboy Slim from 1999 to 2016, and according to her father Johnny, they're now closer than ever before. Chatting to Boom Radio, he revealed: "They're very good friends today. They're divorced, but they're better... if you like, they're closer today than they were when they were married. And that's a lovely thing." After their divorce, Zoe began dating Billy Yates, who tragically took his own life at the age of 40 in 2017. The TV host later embarked on a romance with Michael Reed, but their six-year relationship ended after they reportedly grew apart.

The Britpop icons will be delivering their second show at Murrayfield this evening (August 12). Friday's gig marked the first occasion the Wonderwall hitmakers had graced Edinburgh with their presence in 16 years. The group, fronted by brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher, disbanded in 2009 before revealing their reunion tour last year. Following their Edinburgh appearance, they'll travel to Dublin's Croke Park before making their way back to London's Wembley Stadium in September. The band will subsequently embark on the overseas portion of their tour. BBC Radio 2 presenter Vernon Kay has now cautioned supporters attending the show against making a trip to the bar during one particular moment of the performance. Vernon was amongst the audience members who witnessed the band's return at Heaton Park in Manchester. During his Radio 2 broadcast, the 51-year-old revealed: "One thing that confuses me is the moment, the track it seems where people are refuelling their beverages is Bring It On Down. That's my favourite Oasis tune. Vernon attended the Oasis gig in Manchester (Image: vernonkay/Instagram) "Not many did but I noticed that was the particular track where people were like, 'Oh, oh, oh'. I'm like, 'Hang on a minute, walls of sound, you do realise this is the track that got them signed, this is the one that pricked the ears up of Alan McGee?'" The Oasis reunion is set to carry on tonight, with whispers suggesting it might extend into 2026. Fans are buzzing with the possibility of the band playing at Knebworth House next year, commemorating the 30th anniversary of their legendary gigs there. Should this happen, they would surpass Robbie Williams as the artist with the most performances at the iconic Hertfordshire venue. The Sun has reported that the group has been offered four dates at Knebworth and a chance to play at Etihad Stadium, the homeground of their favourite football club, Manchester City.

Yet, the real question remains whether Liam and Noel Gallagher are willing to continue the reunion.

But it's ultimately up for them to decide." The ongoing tour was announced nearly 15 years after Oasis split, following years of friction between the Gallagher brothers. Despite a history of public spats since Noel left the band, the siblings have recently taken to starting shows hand-in-hand, hinting that past animosities may be resolved.

'As for 2026, they've seen the speculation, they've heard about the offers and they know what the fans want. But it's ultimately up for them to decide."

Ever since Noel quit the band the pair have aimed a series of jibes at each other. However they have opened concerts by walking out hand-in-hand as though the bad blood is now behind them.
