Time flies! Mariah Carey loves living in the present, which is why she’s not on board with the viral #10YearChallenge.
“I don’t get this 10 year challenge, time is not something I acknowledge,” the Grammy winner, 48, captured identical side-by-side snapshots of herself posing with pup Cha Cha on Instagram on Wednesday, January 16. “*Picture taken at some point prior to today.”
Fans took to twitter to praise the pop star for her bold take on the craze that has taken social media by storm. “If Mariah Carey says that time does not exist then time does not exist PERIOD,” one user tweeted. Added another, “Me walking in late with a Starbucks drink…..uhhh time is not something I acknowledge.”
Yet another Carey devotee tweeted, “This is the energy you need to leave work and start your weekend now.”
The “Touch My Body” singer’s life has changed a great deal since 2009. At the time, she was married to Nick Cannon and had just released her 12th studio album, Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel. She also starred as a social worker in the Oscar-winning film Precious that year and won the Breakthrough Actress Performance Award at the Palm Springs International Film Festival in January 2010.
Carey split from Cannon, 38, in 2014 after six years of marriage. The musicians share twins Moroccan and Monroe, 7. “They’re definitely entertainers,” the Wild ’n Out star exclusively told Us Weekly of his kids in July 2018. “They’re hams!”
Cannon also shares son Golden, 22 months, with model Brittany Bell.
These days, Carey has been busy promoting her 15th album, Caution, and Las Vegas Residency The Butterfly Returns.
