It’s no surprise Mariah and her kids are head over heels for Rodrigo. The young singer’s rise to fame with hits like “Drivers License" and "Good 4 u” has captivated fans worldwide. Additionally, her Guts World Tour has been a massive success.
Since their Atlanta visit, Rodrigo has performed in several cities, including Lexington, Kansas City, and Oklahoma City. The singer will wrap up the tour with 14 more shows in the U.S. before heading to Asia and Australia.
One standout moment in Rodrigo’s shows is her performance of “Obsessed,” a song from her deluxe album Guts, which debuted at No. 14 on the Billboard Hot 100. This particular song holds a special connection, as Mariah's hit song of the same name reached No. 7 on the charts 15 years earlier. This shared title also adds a nostalgic angle to the family's newfound admiration for Rodrigo.
A Family of Fans
Mariah’s admiration for Rodrigo isn’t just a fleeting interest. It’s an illustration of the young star’s impact on audiences of all ages. Mariah herself has been busy with her Las Vegas residency, The Celebration of Mimi Live, which runs through August. Despite her busy schedule, she makes time to support and enjoy new music, especially when it resonates with her and her children.
The genuine excitement Mariah and her kids showed for Rodrigo displayed the universal appeal of the young artist’s music. It also affirms the special bond Mariah shares with her twins, fostering their love for music and shared experiences. Whether it’s backstage at a concert or through Instagram shoutouts, Mariah’s connection with her children and their musical interests is heartwarming and relatable.
Mariah’s honest and passionate declaration of being "obsessed" with Rodrigo is a fun reminder that even superstars have their fan moments. And in this case, it’s a shared family obsession that brings them even closer together.
