Is Mariah Carey Serious About This Kiss With Bryan Tanaka???

Okay, MiMi, we see you!
Mariah Carey posted a photo of herself sort of kissing backup dancer Bryan Tanaka (we say sort of because she looks barely engaged in the act), and it’s got us scratching our heads.

Alongside the pic was the caption:

“No one knows what it means, but it’s provocative … it gets the people going!” ├░┼╕╦£ΓÇ░

That’s a quote by Will Ferrell from Blades of Glory, and it seems to imply that none of this between Mariah and Bryan is real. That winky face certainly seems to imply as much.
It’s like MiMi’s just being provocative to get us riled up on purpose! We’re not buying it!
Okay, maybe we are. Whatever. Shine on, you crazy kids.
