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.

In a recent interview with Capital FM posted Monday (June 16), the superstar once again stated how she refuses to acknowledge the passage of time. Carey has long said she doesn’t subscribe to the construct of days, weeks and years, and has also asserted that she doesn’t have birthdays — only anniversaries.
