Mariah Carey brings own lighting to Clive Davis’ pre-Grammys bash, Jay-Z and Beyoncé cancel ‘moments after’ gala starts

We broke the news that the duo were some of the first to RSVP to the event.

But we hear organizers were told the power couple wouldn’t be attending moments after the gala started.

Jay-Z hosted his own pre-Grammy party the night before — where Kim Kardashian and Odell Beckham Jr. sparked dating rumors.

Reps for Beyoncé and Jay-Z did not comment on their decision to bail.

There was still plenty of star power in the room.

A-list guests included Meryl Streep, Nancy Pelosi, Lenny Kravitz, Cher, Gloria Estefan and tennis great Serena Williams.

Stars who also stuck around till the end of the night included Tom Hanks, Julia Garner, Shania Twain, Lana Del Rey, Busta Rhymes, Public Enemy’s Flava Flav and Chuck D, Monica, Machine Gun Kelly, Paris Hilton, Kandi Burruss, Gayle King and Smokey Robinson.

The night kicked off with Green Day performing “American Idiot.”

We overheard that Will.i.am blamed LA traffic for arriving nearly three hours after the show started.

Ice Spice, Victoria Monet and Jelly Roll hit Davis’ Grammy party stage for the first time, while Mark Ronson, Lainey Wilson and Andrew Wyatt performed “I’m Just Ken” from “Barbie,” and Stevie Wonder, Gladys Knight, Keyshia Cole, Dionne Warwick and Andra Day closed out the gala event.

At Davis’ unofficial afterparty at the Polo Lounge later, comedian Tiffany Haddish performed Tina Turner’s “Proud Mary” with the restaurant band.

“Million Dollar Listing” star Josh Flagg had a little singalong of his own, crooning Frank Sinatra.

Wonder also popped in for a late night bite, as Davis held court in a booth with his dog, Charlie, and hospitality pal, Nelly Moudime.

The night ended with Polo Lounge servers cutting patrons off at 2a.m.

Denise Rich, Nikki Haskell, Marjorie “DJ Mad Marj” Gubelmann, Greg Schriefer, Candy Spelling, Monte and Angelina Lipman, and Adrien Brody and Georgina Chapman also attended the late-night shindig.
