In case you’ve been living in hiding this weekend, Mariah Carey royally botched a New Year’s Eve performance in Time Square. The pop superstar was caught obviously lip syncing in a moment so beautifully tragic it could have only come at the end of a year like 2016.

Carey was quick to take to Twitter to brush off the ordeal; because when you’re a musical force like Mariah Carey, you really don’t have to take crap from anyone. She made it clear that mistakes happen and she’s walking away from this one essentially unscathed. After all, all press is good press, right?

Despite her best efforts to downplay the gaffe, the Internet is a savage place that cannot be tamed. So obviously people took to various forms of social media to poke fun at the singer’s incredibly public screw up.
Some of these are just too funny to ignore!
