Mariah Carey has opened up about her infamous New Year’s Eve meltdown that saw her lose the plot after attempting to lip-sync.

The singer had an epic meltdown in front of millions after botching her headline performance at America’s biggest New Year’s party as she reeled in 2017.

She burst into tears in front of millions of viewers, crying: “I’m trying to be a good sport here.”

It’s believed the wrong song was played and Carey couldn’t hear what she should have been singing on stage.

As many as 2 million people, surrounded by a ring of 40-ton sand trucks and some 7,000 police, gathered in the “Crossroads of the World” to watch the glittering sphere complete its minute-long drop, marking the beginning of 2017.
