Being a diva, it's only natural Mariah Carey wants to get in on the act first.
And indeed that was the case as the U.S. star saw in 2013 in Australia - one of the first places to have celebrated the New Year due to time difference.
Mariah, who just enjoyed a winter break in Aspen, tweeted a snap of herself with husband Nick Cannon, who had a glass of champagne in hand, with the accompanying tweet: 'Happy New Year from Australia!!!!'
The American Idol judge was clad in a red dress with a silver headband as she partied away.
Carey is believed to have celebrated in Queensland, where she was spotted just days before with Nick and their 20-month-old twins Moroccan and Monroe.
The foursome enjoyed a trip around the Great Barrier Reef, with Mariah spotted tottering around in high heels as she walked the plank to the yacht.
Other celebs tweeting from Down Under included Keith Urban, who celebrated 2013 an hour earlier in Sydney, New South Wales, which is an hour ahead of Queensland.
