Mariah Carey doesn't believe in time and that includes her birthday
Mariah Carey has fully embraced a timeless divadom.
The superstar songstress recently spoke with UK radio station Capital FM and said she doesn't really acknowledge the passage of time. The show's co-hosts Jordan North, Chris Stark and Sian Welby asked Carey to clarify what she meant.
'I just don't believe in it,' she said.
Stark asked if she meant time zones and Carey clarified, 'No, just time.'
That inspired a question from Welby.
'So no clocks?' he asked. 'Just not into that?'
'Yeah,' Carey replied. 'No, just let it go.'
Carey has let go clocks, apparently, as well as the concept of marking her birthday.
'I don't have a birthday, no,' she said. 'Anniversaries, yes.'
For those of us on Mariah time, Carey has celebrated 56 anniversaries of rotating around the sun.
So while calendars are ok for certain dates, without daily time markers in Carey's world, Stark wondered how she handles meetings and appointments with others.
'I would have someone call you and figure it out,' Carey said.
To quote one of her songs, it's like that.

Omnicom Network Achieves Record Number of Wins in 76-Year History Under Recently Appointed Global Leadership CANNES, France, June 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- DDB Worldwide, part of Omnicom, has once again claimed the prestigious title of Network of the Year at the 2025 Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity. This marks the second time the network has secured the honor, following its historic first win in 2023. In a record-breaking year, DDB surpassed its 2023 award tally with a total of 112 Lions, further cementing its place at the forefront of the global creative industry. DDB's continued rise comes just one year into the leadership of Global CEO Alex Lubar and President & Global Chief Creative Officer, Chaka Sobhani. Since taking the reins, the duo has steered the network into a new era; one defined by tighter integration, emotionally-led creativity, and a sharpened focus on work that delivers both cultural impact and real business results. Chaka Sobhani commented: 'I literally don't have the words. This means the absolute world to us. I couldn't be prouder of our DDB network and the passion, commitment, and love that has gone behind us getting here. A huge thank you also to our amazing clients for their trust and partnership - we wouldn't be here without you and I hope we've made you proud. Hopefully, this is the start of much more to come from DDB - and on a personal note, I can only say it's been the most incredible first year!'

'The momentum you're seeing now is the result of a global network aligned around a simple belief: creativity is the most powerful force in business. I'm incredibly proud of our exceptional teams and client partners on this collective effort.' 2025 Cannes Lions highlights: This creative surge has been powered by the DDB Global Creative Council, Bullseye, which is led by Global Chief Creative Operations Officer, Susie Walker, and continues to push boundaries across regions. This year, the program has been expanded to include rising creative talent, who have actively shaped DDB's award-winning creative work. DDB's rise has also been fueled by the growing influence of some of its most dynamic agencies, including DDB Paris, Africa Creative DDB, alma, DM9, and NORD DDB, whose bold, culturally resonant work continues to redefine the standard of global creative excellence. As creativity becomes an increasingly vital business differentiator, DDB's Cannes success proves its belief that emotional storytelling not only moves people, it moves markets.
