Mariah Carey Steals the Show

Mariah Carey’s performance was the highlight of the Milan Olympic opening ceremony, and it’s not like the rest of the show was dull. NPR reporters braved the cold to cover the event, and they’ve got the scoop on what went down.

Coffee Makers Make an Appearance

Coffee makers were, oddly enough, a part of the ceremony. Because what says ‘international athletic competition’ like a good cup of joe? It’s not every day you see coffee makers at the Olympics, but hey, it’s Milan – they know their coffee.

The ceremony was a weird and wonderful mix of music, dance, and caffeine. It won’t be forgotten anytime soon, and not just because of Mariah Carey’s outfit.
