About this listen
Mariah Carey has dominated headlines this week with her signature blend of spectacle and self-mythologizing. The buzz began with her captivating appearance at the 2025 BET Awards on June 9 at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles. There, Carey delivered her new single Type Dangerous live for the first time, joined onstage by Rakim and Anderson Paak. The set was a showstopper, capped with a performance of her 2005 hit It’s Like That. The night became historic as Carey received her first-ever BET Award, the Ultimate Icon Award, celebrating her decades-long impact on music and culture. Accepting the honor, Carey reflected on her journey, declaring it took her “a while, but I finally realized life is far too short to live for anyone else’s approval,” and embracing her “extraness, fabulousness, and iconicness,” words that quickly trended across social media and were featured in major outlets like People.
Her reign did not stop there. On June 15, she wowed tens of thousands at London’s Wembley Stadium during Capital’s Summertime Ball, delivering a vocally flawless rendition of Emotions, a performance that drew rave reviews and significant fan engagement on Global Player and YouTube. The next day, she was back in the news with the release of the Type Dangerous music video, which showcased Carey in classic form: dramatic visuals, high heels, and a narrative of taking down bad guys, a nod to her enduring pop diva persona.
Perhaps most talked-about was her interview with Capital FM, where she doubled down on her now-legendary stance against the concept of time. Carey told hosts she simply “doesn’t believe in time,” refuses to acknowledge birthdays—only “anniversaries”—and insists she is “eternally 12 years old.” Parade, NBC, and iHeartRadio all ran with the story, reinforcing her status as the ultimate ageless icon. Adding weight, Billboard charted Type Dangerous at No. 95, making it her 50th Hot 100 entry—a biographical milestone.
Business-wise, Carey continues her lucrative Las Vegas residency, The Celebration of Mimi, which has added new 2025 dates at Dolby Live at Park MGM. Tickets for these shows are selling briskly, cementing her staying power in the live entertainment sphere. Australian fans are buzzing too, as Daily Mail Australia and MCArchives report she will soon announce her first Australian shows in over a decade, with rumors swirling that she might headline the Fridayz Live festival alongside Pitbull.
On social media, Carey trended again recently after a playful exchange where she dismissed accusations that a recent Spotify Wrapped video message was AI-generated, blaming instead “bad lighting and a red lip.” As she celebrates the anniversary of her Merry Christmas album and readies for more performances, Mariah Carey remains both a cultural constant and an inexhaustible source of headlines.
