The singer stopped Ryan Seacrest from discussing her part in the last two Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest shows during the 2018 Golden Globes red carpet. “Last time I saw you it was sub zero temperatures, you were up on stage for New Year’s Eve, you delivered an amazing performance, how did you feel about the reaction?” Seacrest, 43, asked Carey during E!’s red carpet show. “People loved it.” Be sure to check out PEOPLE’s full Golden Globes coverage to get the latest news on Hollywood’s big night. “Can we not get into past moments?” Carey, 47, cut in. Carey had unfortunate — but memorable — sound problems during her New Year’s Eve performance in 2016, when she was unable to hear her backup singers. “Well, Happy New Year! We can’t hear, but I’ll just get through the moment,” she said while struggling to sing.
