Only days before this performance, Carey appeared at the BET Awards on June 9. First, the singer took the stage for a performance, wearing a sparkling gold minidress with a structured bodice, asymmetrical hemline, and matching gold platform heels.

She continued the glittering theme with her accessories, while her hair was parted in the center and worn straight.

Later in the evening, she was honored with the Ultimate Icon Award. As she took the stage, Carey wore a white floor-length gown featuring a low-cut sweetheart neckline and visible corsetry. Her look was accented by a large gemstone necklace and stacks of bracelets.

As she accepted the honor, the singer delivered a speech that was both reflective and empowering. She said, "It took me a while but I finally realized that life is far too short to live for anyone else's approval which is something I always did. So thank you so much. So I decided to own who I am — my extraness, my fabulousness, and yes, my success and my iconicness. [sic]"

Additionally, she encouraged the audience to believe in themselves, love who they are, and "be iconic while you're doing it."

The next day, on June 10, Carey posted a carousel of photos on Instagram summarizing her BET Awards night. In her caption, she wrote, "Thank you @betawards for an unforgettable night. Feeling blessed!"

With two high-profile moments in less than a week, Mariah Carey proved once again why she remains a powerful force in pop culture.
