It’s common for stars and organisers to hint at new tour dates through social media postings. However, fans believed that American songstress Mariah Carey used her latest music video to tease a possible concert in Malaysia.
The music icon recently dropped the video for the KAYTRANADA remix of her 2005 hit, “Don’t Forget About Us”. The new remix commemorates the 20th anniversary of her chart-topping album, “The Emancipation of Mimi”. As for the music video, the concept appeared to be Mariah’s 2025 calendar, with highlights on dates, like birthdays, holidays and anniversaries.
However, when it came to October, local fans noticed that the date 7th October 2025 (Tuesday) was marked with the Malaysian flag. The same month also featured the flags of the Philippines, Thailand and Japan on dates consistent with Mariah’s previously announced tour dates. This discovery led fans to speculate that the star may be holding a show in Malaysia later this October.
Earlier this March, the singer announced new tour dates for her ongoing tour titled “The Celebration Of Mimi”. Besides dates in Manila, Bangkok and Kobe in October, the tour includes stops in Shanghai in May and Yokohama in November. In her post, the singer shares that there will be more dates, giving room for speculation that Malaysia could be part of the tour.
While nothing is confirmed, local fans are already excited about the possibility of Mariah performing in Malaysia. If the news is true, this will be the singer’s first show in Malaysia in seven years, following her 2018 concert at Plenary Hall. Given that it’s been a while since her last concert here, it’s no surprise that fans are hoping that her music video is a credible source.
For now, we can only wait for an official announcement, but what are your thoughts on this? Are you also hoping that the news is legitimate? In the meantime, watch the music video for “Don’t Forget About Us (KAYTRANADA Remix)” below:
