With speculation that a new single is due imminently, the slot essentially confirms it. And with the Idol finale taking place on May 16th, we imagine new Mimi will be rolled out beforehand in time for a performance there too.
Whatever the case, it’s clear the red carpet treatment is being employed here to launch the project. Here’s hoping the song(s) and her live performances make it worth it! We’re rooting for you, Mimi!
