Mariah Carey is an absolute goddess, and we don't deserve her. She's proved this time and time again—whether at a Fourth of July barbecue, crouching near a popcorn maker to find perfect lighting, or during her two New Year's Eve performances. If you still need convincing, though, look no further than to her video for the #BottleCapChallenge, the internet's latest viral hashtag in which people post videos of themselves kicking the tops off bottles.
But Carey didn't kick anything. (She's a legend, and legends always do things differently.) Instead, she simply belted out her signature whistle tone, and the cap went flying all on its own. Yup! Let me reiterate: goddess. Superhero! Otherworldly! A national treasure!
Okay, so this isn't technically what happened. Clearly someone fastened a string onto the bottle cap and pulled it the second Carey started singing. Nevertheless, the video is still iconic and by far the most creative #BottleCapChallenge entry. Mariah Carey nailed this one, guys. She won. It's official.
Watch the magic go down for yourself in the video, below. "Challenge accepted," Carey wrote.

In a separate tweet she added, "Well, that was fun! my next challenge is trying to get my kids off their iPads."

Other celebrities have completed the #BottleCapChallenge as well, though their submissions are nowhere near as incredible as Carey's.
Of course Jason Statham was able to do this with ease.

John Mayer didn't have any trouble, either.

Whitney Cummings and Lizzo, meanwhile, are literally me attempting this challenge. (Disclaimer: I haven't attempted this challenge, and I won't. I don't need the hospital bill.)

Love that Ryan Reynolds used this as an opportunity to plug his gin. The hustle, am I right?

Now excuse me while I try to move things using just my singing voice. (Spoiler alert: The only things that move are the people around me. And by that, I mean they'll just get up and leave.)
