Legend, the “King of Valentine’s Day,” recently lovingly parodied the “Queen of Christmas” Mariah Carey’s buzz-worthy social media video on Twitter. PopSugar says Legend, “posted a hilarious video of him getting in the Valentine's Day spirit. Taking a note from Mariah Carey, he started the video dressed in festive holiday-season-esque clothes….and eventually woke up to a room decorated with rose petals and hearts as he shamelessly blasted his song ‘Conversations in the Dark.’” Carey herself had the best response on Twitter.
