Mariah Carey<\/a> is preparing to launch her new album<\/a>, Here for It All, and, as such, is making the necessary publicity rounds to remind us all that no one can out-diva Mimi. In a conversation<\/a> with Harper\u2019s Bazaar UK, the five-time Grammy winner was asked which \u201cfemale divas\u201d she most admires. Unsurprisingly, Carey responded, \u201cI\u2019m going to have to go with me!\u201d<\/p>\n This is totally normal and acceptable behavior for a singer who has sold over 220 million records worldwide and scored 19 No. 1 hits, trailing closely behind the Beatles. Considering Carey is celebrating the 20th anniversary of The Emancipation of Mimi, the genre-shattering album that features collaborations with Pharrell Williams and Jermaine Dupri, she has more than earned the right to both claim and define the word diva. After all, we are talking about a woman who didn\u2019t realize stilettos would be inappropriate footwear<\/a> to scale the Great Wall of China.<\/p>\n Like any pop star who has sustained a decadeslong career and multiple divorces, Carey needs to stay abreast of the current pop landscape. When asked which pop artists she listens to, she admitted she likes Tate McRae, Sabrina Carpenter, and Olivia Rodrigo \u2014 but only because, as the outlet put it, \u201cshe likes to keep up with what\u2019s on her teenage daughter\u2019s playlist.\u201d (She shares 14-year-old twins Monroe and Moroccan with ex-husband Nick Cannon.) I wonder if the twins have told her about Carpenter\u2019s Netflix Christmas special?<\/p>\n Stay in touch.<\/p>\n Get the Cut newsletter delivered daily<\/p>\n Vox Media, LLC Terms and Privacy Notice<\/p>\n
