"Billboard has been an integral part of my life for a very long time now," Carey noted in her acceptance speech. "Even though I don't acknowledge time, I kind of have to admit that some of my most memorable times in my career are connected to Billboard and the BBMAs."

The "Fantasy" singer also expressed how "grateful" she is for her fans who have stuck with her "through the hits, through the misses, the No. 1s and the Bubbling Unders. I love you so much."

"This award is particularly special to me because the song itself changed my entire life, and when I first sat down to write 'All I Want for Christmas Is You,' I never could have imagined that I would be standing here three months later accepting a special award for it," she joked.
