American singer-songwriter Mariah Carey recently set a new “record”, but not in the field of music as you might expect.
She conquered the Great Wall of China in a bodycon dress and 15-centimetre heels, prompting fans to joke that she was the first person to ever achieve the feat.
On Saturday (14 Sept), the music icon posted a series of pictures online of her and her children at the historic site, captioning her post:
At the Great Wall of China! Someone should’ve warned me about heels 👠 (not that I would’ve listened)

At the summit, she posed for photos to commemorate her successful ascent.
Netizens questioned whether Ms Carey had actually climbed the entire wall in heels, as it was already challenging even with the right footwear.
However, other social media users revealed that she switched to thick-soled sneakers partway through the climb and she wore them to the summit, reported Sanli News Network.
