There is only one Mariah, after all, and she's ageless. This is the woman who's kept going ever since - and not necessarily by reinventing herself.
(When I listen to the chorus from "My All", I can practically smell the middle school hair of my own Jordan Catalano.) This is the woman who owned the entire '90s: Hearing just one note from "Vision of Love", "Always Be My Baby", "Hero", "Honey", or "Heartbreaker" is enough to send elderly millennials straight back to the glory days of Steve Madden platforms, Delia*s catalogs, and My So-Called Life marathons. This is the woman who entered the music business as an ingenue three decades ago, broke tons of records, and still, to this day, has produced more number one Billboard Hot 100 hits than any other female artist in history. Many, including Mariah, would say that she's more than earned the right to demand exactly what she wants. (For the record, the replacement bottle was "not so great" either.) "It just tastes disgusting," she says, sending the wine back with an apology. Not an international tour, honey - a global one.īut after a few sips, Mariah is unsatisfied. It's tiring being in the middle of a global tour. She puts her bare feet up on a velvet ottoman. Mariah takes a sip with her literal pinkie in the air, the large diamond butterfly ring on her right hand (there's one on her left too) sparkling. One of the someones finally arrives with a platter of charcuterie and olives and a bottle of red wine.
The only things she's had time to consume since waking up are a little protein shake and some psyllium, a fiber supplement. She has taken off her Valentino stilettos - someone packed them for her, but they're too small - and is patiently waiting for another someone to bring her snacks. on a Sunday night and we're sitting in a private room inside one of the most expensive hotels in Dublin.
