Mariah Carey, the iconic pop superstar, celebrated her 55th birthday on March 27th, which she famously refers to as her “anniversary.” To mark the occasion, she shared a stunning selfie on Instagram, radiating with positive vibes and birthday joy. In the photo, Carey is aboard a yacht, embodying mermaidcore with her tight-fitted, sequined indigo gown and flowing curly ponytail. Her vibrant eye makeup in a dark purple shade adds an extra touch of glamour to the look.

Carey’s fans flooded the comments section with sweet “happy anniversary” wishes, praising her for giving off mermaid butterfly vibes and looking beautiful in blue. The excitement and love from her fans were palpable, making her day even more special.

It’s interesting to note that Mariah Carey has a unique perspective on birthdays. She refers to them as anniversaries and celebrates the anniversary of her 12th birthday, as she feels eternally 12 years old. This concept stems from a childhood pact she made with herself, vowing to never forget how it feels to be a kid. For Carey, birthdays are an opportunity to celebrate life and rebuke the notion of counting years. She even reposted an old video interview where she humorously quips, “I don’t have birthdays. I just have anniversaries.”

As Mariah Carey starts her 55th year, it promises to be a major one for her. She will kick off her third Las Vegas residency next month, titled “Mariah Carey: The Celebration of Mimi Live,” in honor of the 20th anniversary of her hit album “The Emancipation of Mimi.” Additionally, she is among the nominees for this year’s Rock and Roll Hall of Fame class, alongside music legends such as Cher, Mary J. Blige, and Lenny Kravitz. Carey expressed her excitement and gratitude for the nomination, sharing her joy on Instagram.

Mariah Carey continues to captivate audiences with her incredible talent and timeless charm. As she embarks on another year, her loyal fans eagerly anticipate the magical moments she will create with her music and performances.
