MARRIED TO MUSIC AND VEGEMITE: MARIAH CAREY'S WILD AUSTRALIAN ADVENTURE

The Queen of Pop, Mariah Carey, has descended upon Australia in style, leaving a trail of glamour and drama in her wake. The 56-year-old songstress touched down in Sydney on Saturday aboard her private jet, looking every inch the superstar as she emerged from the plane.

Dressed to kill in a fitted black dress that showcased her famous curves, Mariah added a touch of edge with a cropped leather jacket and gold belt. Her caramel locks cascaded down her back in luscious curls, while her natural makeup look was perfectly complemented by a bold pink lip color. Towering black heels and diamond accessories completed the look, cementing Mariah's status as a style icon.

But it wasn't just Mariah's fashion sense that turned heads – her taste buds were also put to the test in a way she'll never forget. During a performance at Brisbane Showground on Friday, the pop sensation decided to try something new: dipping a teaspoon of Vegemite into her mouth. Yes, you read that right – Vegemite!

The crowd was abuzz as Mariah prepared to take the plunge, with fans shouting "That's too much!" in unison. But the fearless singer wasn't one to back down from a challenge. She slipped a generous amount of the dark, sticky spread into her mouth and... winced.

It's safe to say that Mariah didn't quite appreciate the strong flavor of Vegemite, as she shook her head and declared "No!" before hastily walking off stage to dispose of the offending item. But this isn't the first time Mariah has tried to conquer the notorious Aussie spread – in fact, it's a recurring theme for the singer.

As fans took to social media to point out that Mariah had attempted the same stunt on her Triumphant tour in 2013 and even as far back as the Butterfly tour in 1998, it seems that our beloved pop star is more than happy to indulge in a bit of gluttony for punishment.

The news has left fans both entertained and bewildered – but one thing's for sure: Mariah Carey knows how to make an entrance. And exit. And re-enter... with a side of Vegemite, perhaps?

After performing alongside Pitbull and Wiz Khalifa in Brisbane on Friday, Mariah jetted off to Sydney where she took the stage at another sold-out gig on Saturday night. With her impressive vocal range and unstoppable energy, it's no wonder that fans are clamoring for more.

But will Mariah be able to withstand the wrath of Vegemite again? Only time – and a healthy dose of Aussie humor – will tell.

TheScholarlyNote.com would like to remind its readers that while we can't predict what will happen next, one thing's certain: with Mariah Carey on the scene, you know it'll be a wild ride.
