Iconic '90s Singer, 56, Declares War on Time Itself: 'I Just Don't Believe in It.'
Iconic '90s Singer, 56, Declares War on Time Itself: 'I Just Don't Believe in It.' originally appeared on Parade.
In a recent interview with Capital FM posted online Monday, Mariah Carey revealed she isn't just hitting high notes — she's skipping over calendars entirely.
When host Jordan North asked, 'Is it true you don't acknowledge the passing of time?' Carey didn't hesitate to share her personal philosophy.
'That is true,' she confirmed. 'I just don't believe in it.'
When North followed up to ask if she was referring to time zones, Carey quipped, 'No, just time.'
Co-host Sian Welby then asked, 'So no clocks? Just not into that?'
'Yeah. No, just let it go,' Carey replied.
As for Carey's well-known stance on birthdays, she touched on that too: 'I don't have a birthday, no. Anniversaries, yes,' she said.
This isn't a new take for the pop icon. In a 2014 Out interview, she declared, 'I'm eternally 12 years old.'
When asked about being a pop star for 25 years, she told the outlet, 'I don't count years, but I definitely rebuke them — I have anniversaries, not birthdays, because I celebrate life, darling.'
Now 56, Carey is applying the same logic to her music. Her latest single, 'Type Dangerous' (her first solo track since 2019), just debuted at No. 95 on the Billboard Hot 100, marking her 50th career entry.
Technically, the chart milestone is dated June 21, 2025 — but Mariah likely wasn't watching the clock.
