She was tasked with kicking off the new football season tonight so Mariah Carey did it the only way a diva knows how.

Her antics of the evening included arriving on stage halfway through a song, sporting two glitzy dresses and even performing with her pet pooch under one arm.

The 42-year-old singer belted out her new single Triumphant (Get Em) at the NFL Opening Kickoff in New York.

But as Cee Lo Green took to the stage on a throne, Mariah showed who is the biggest diva as she waited one minute and 30 seconds into the track before showing up.

Beforehand, a black and white video played on a screen while the words fashionably late flashed across it.

When doors opened for Mariahs entrance, the star stepped out in a dazzling gold minidress with a train, which showed off her famous curves.

The sequined bodice number put it all on display and Mariah also had a matching wrap for the performance.

Of course, there were plenty of wind machines on hand while Mariah hit the high notes of her song.

It wasnt the only treat she had in store for the Rockefeller Center audience as the newly appointed American Idol judge also performed some vintage Mariah.

She sang Touch My Body for the excited crowd but not before the superstar had changed into another dress, which was different while serving the same purpose of flaunting her figure.

Her second frock was sequined black and boasted a very low-cut so as to show off her ample cleavage, and she teamed it with m! atching glittering peep toe pumps.

And while Cee Lo Green sat this one out, Mariah wasnt alone on stage as she was joined by one of her pet dogs.

Jack Russell terrier Jill. E Beans is one of Mariahs five pooches and her owner lifted her up and proudly showed her off to the audience.

It seems the wind machines werent enough for this particular performance as Mariah was later seen whipping out a red fan with ornate gold detailing.

Meanwhile in New Jersey, Queen Latifah took to the pitch ahead of the New Jersey Giants and Dallas Cowboys game, where dressed in a football shirt, she led a gospel rendition of the National Anthem.
