Mariah Carey is an absolute goddess, and we don’t deserve her. She’s proved this time and time again—whether at a Fourth of July barbecue, crouching near a popcorn maker to find perfect lighting, or during her two New Year’s Eve performances. If you still need convincing, though, look no further than to her video for the #BottleCapChallenge, the internet’s latest viral hashtag in which people post videos of themselves kicking the tops off bottles.
But Carey didn’t kick anything. (She’s a legend, and legends always do things differently.) Instead, she simply belted out her signature whistle tone, and the cap went flying all on its own. Yup! Let me reiterate: goddess. Superhero! Otherworldly! A national treasure!
Okay, so this isn’t technically what happened. Clearly someone fastened a string onto the bottle cap and pulled it the second Carey started singing. Nevertheless, the video is still iconic and by far the most creative #BottleCapChallenge entry. Mariah Carey nailed this one, guys. She won. It’s official.
Watch the magic go down for yourself in the video, below. “Challenge accepted,” Carey wrote.
In a separate tweet she added, “Well, that was fun! my next challenge is trying to get my kids off their iPads.”
Other celebrities have completed the #BottleCapChallenge as well, though their submissions are nowhere near as incredible as Carey’s.
