Pop icon Mariah Carey has shared her unique perspective on time and birthdays in a recent interview. The singer stated that she doesn't believe in the passage of time and doesn't celebrate her birthdays.
During a June 16, 2025, appearance on Capital FM, Carey confirmed her stance. When asked how she marks events, Carey responded, "I don't count time. I don't need clocks or calendars."
Regarding birthdays, Carey clarified, "I don't have birthdays. I celebrate anniversaries, but not birthdays." This approach is not new for Carey, who has previously expressed her focus on celebrating life rather than counting years.
Carey also revealed that the "Mariah glow" is achieved through a beautiful amber-toned filter. These statements highlight Carey's unique approach to life and her unconventional relationship with traditional timekeeping and celebrations.
