As the Christmas season approaches,  so does Mariah Carey, who is well-known for her legendary “It’s Time!!!!”. 

Fighting Through Trails and Hardship

Mariah’s talent was seen at a very young age. She began writing poetry and lyrics when she was just in high school. She persevered through hard times growing up with poverty, domestic violence, and racial identity struggles. She later publicly revealed that she has bipolar II disorder. She used her platform to help people with a mental illness and encourage open dialogue and treatment. Despite these factors, she went on to have a very successful music career, being awarded six Grammys, ten American Music Awards, and fourteen Billboard Music Awards. 

“It’s Time!!!”

Mariah Carey’s “It’s Time” originated from a short, viral social media clip. She was trying to signal the beginning of the Christmas season. The first video was made in 2019, where Mariah Carey was seen in an 80s costume at 11:59 p.m. and as the clock turned to midnight, she received a call from Santa and transformed into festive pajamas and declared “It’s!! Time!” She filmed this video to officially announce the return of her iconic song “ All I Want for Christmas is You”. Now, “It’s time!” has become an internet sensation with people turning her iconic video into a meme. Many start posting about her “defrosting” as soon as November first, with some people using it as a countdown, readily excited for the Christmas season to begin.

Anniversary Album and Upcoming Tour

Mariah Carey gave her fans an early Christmas present this year by announcing her long-awaited tour. Mariah Carey is going on tour around the United States and even parts of the United Arab Emirates from November 28th through February 2nd. Fans are especially excited for this tour as her last tour was over 2 years ago. She also gifts her fans with affordable concert prices, with her Las Vegas, NV, show starting as low as $69. But she isn’t stopping there. Mariah Carey will also be playing songs from her famous and adored Christmas album “Merry Christmas” during her tour. Her tour has her fans excited and rushing to buy tickets, and with the ticket price so low, they’re bound to sell out quickly.  Mariah Carey’s concert is truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience!!, and this might be your only chance to see her live.
