WATCH: Mariah Carey walks the Great Wall of China in 6-inch heels

Photos and videos of global music icon Mariah Carey walking the Great Wall of China in 6-inch heels have sparked mixed reactions on social media.

In the videos, the 55-year-old singer is fully glammed up, wearing black platform heels paired with a stunning black dress.

“At the Great Wall of China! Someone should’ve warned me about heels (not that I would’ve listened),” the We Belong Together hitmaker captioned the images on X.

The visit came almost a month after the singer’s mother and sister passed away on the same day.

“My heart is broken that I’ve lost my mother this past weekend. Sadly, in a tragic turn of events, my sister lost her life on the same day,” Carey said in late August.
