Mariah Carey doesn’t celebrate her birthday, and not because she’s one of those people who hates her birthday. Rather, she celebrates the anniversary of her ethereal existence, because she doesn’t believe in or acknowledge the passage of time. Keep reading for more information.

Mariah Carey Doesn't Believe In Time

In an interview with Capital FM, the mother-of-two explained her long-standing belief that time is just a construct, noting that the concept of days, weeks, and years isn't something that applies to her life.

"Is it true you don't acknowledge the passing of time?" one interviewer asked, which Carey confirmed, "That is true."

"I just don't believe in it," she elaborated. "No, no, just time. Let it go. I don't have a birthday, no. Anniversaries, yes." Mariah celebrated the "anniversary" of her existence on March 27 this year, posting a photo of herself riding a jet ski on Instagram with the caption, "Thank you lambily for the anniversary wishes and for always making me so happy!!!"

Social Media Reactions

This isn't a new theory either. Mariah has stuck to her belief system for many years, which she pointed out by reposting an interview from 2023 on her Instagram page in which she confirms again, "I don't have birthdays … I decided to do that."

In the comment section, fans shared their reactions, which some cheering on the singer: "That's why she looks so damn amazing!! Following the concept of time ages people. Mimi looks incredible!" and others expressing concern: "Does anyone else think this is completely bizarre? I'm concerned."

But for the most part, fans stood with the icon, leaving comments like, "Queen behavior!" and "I love and respect an honest QUEEN who knows herself!! Love you Mimi!!"
