It has become a nightly tradition in New York for quarantined citizens to cheer on the essential workers fighting COVID-19 head on.
And Mariah Carey appeared on the balcony of her NYC Penthouse on Thursday evening to voice her individual gratitude and support for those working tirelessly on the front lines.
The 50-year-old singer concealed her mouth and nose beneath a flaming red bandana as she gazed down upon her struggling city.

Carey suited up for her cheer session in a white Gucci tee that featured a flattering boatneck and a sparkly version of the high fashion label’s iconic green and red logo.
She paired the flashy top with some simple black pants, which allowed the plethora of diamond jewelry on her wrists and fingers to pull focus.
Her signature golden tresses were tucked away from the Emancipation Of Mimi songstress’ face in the form of two French braids.
Though the majority of her recognizable mug was covered by her makeshift mask, Mariah’s eyes were adorned with various brown eyeshadow shades and a fierce black liner.

Love for her city: In a post shared with her nearly 10million Instagram followers, Mariah posed before a colorful graffiti wall in a selfie taken during one of her ‘last late-night moments out in NYC’
The five time Grammy winner – who has been in lockdown since March – was clearly yearning for the days spent gracing NYC with her voice and presence.
In a post shared with her nearly 10million Instagram followers on Friday, Mariah posed before a colorful graffiti wall in a selfie taken during one of her ‘last late-night moments out in NYC.’
She concluded her caption with the heartfelt hashtag: ‘#ilovethiscity’
The portrait has since received over 150,000 likes and featured a visibly made-up Carey beaming at the camera’s lens.
Nostalgia: Shortly after, she provided fans with a bit of nostalgia by sharing a clip from her memorable Fantasy: Mariah Carey at Madison Square Garden show in 1995
Return to the stage: ‘Can’t wait to perform again soon,’ she wrote. ‘In the meantime, my Madison Square Garden Daydream show is available on my YouTube channel!’

‘Can’t wait to perform again soon,’ she wrote. ‘In the meantime, my Madison Square Garden Daydream show is available on my YouTube channel!’
The clip showed a much younger Mariah parading around the massive arena’s stage in a black button down crop top and a pair of black flared trousers.
The concert was meant to promote her fifth studio album Daydream and would serve as a rehearsal for her 1996 Daydream World Tour.

Mariah has been hunkering down in her enviable abode with longtime boyfriend and master choreographer Bryan Tanaka, 37, and her nine-year-old fraternal twins, son Moroccan and daughter Monroe.
Carey shares the darling duo with ex husband Nick Cannon, 39, who she split from in 2016 after nearly eight-years of marriage.
With her state of New York being hit hardest by the pandemic, Mariah has been inspired to lend a hand to those in need and provide civilians with a much needed escape from the chaos.
Earlier in the week, Mariah announced that she would be partaking in the viral All In Challenge after being nominated by fellow musical artist Ariana Grande, 26.

The Butterfly singer is offering one fan a VIP concert experience with a ‘festive dinner’ and more fun afterward.
‘You never know what kind of shenanigans we can get up to,’ Mariah winked.
She blew kisses at the camera while signing off to fans saying: ‘Stay healthy, stay safe, and hopefully I’ll see you sooner rather than later.’
