Monroeis getting singing encouragement from someone most of us could only dream of having as a coach: her mom,Mariah Carey!
The “Fantasy” hitmaker, 49, and her 8½-year-old daughter star in an adorable TikTok video that Careycross-posted to her Twitter feed, which saw Monroe seemingly belt out a high note with inherited expertise.
But about two-thirds of the way through the 18-second clip, the camera pans to show Carey coming out from behind a corner, revealing she was the owner of the pipes despite Monroe’s very convincing lip-sync performance.
“Mommy!” Monroe chides the singer, who shrugs and replies, “What? You said do the high notes!”
“When your daughter wants to do a#highnotechallenge,” Carey captioned the hilarious footage.
