I’ve had so many unforgettable experiences with Mariah Carey. Being in her presence is astonishing—having her sing, point, & wave to me still feels surreal. It truly feels like our connection runs both ways. For years, I saw Mariah 2 to 3 times annually, often outside shows—from her Walk of Fame after-party at the Roosevelt, where we sat across from each other 4 hours, to unexpectedly running into her & the twins at the Kiwanis Chili Cook-Off in Malibu. At a Caesars Palace Christmas meet-&-greet, we cried together discussing overlooked lyrics & how deeply they shaped us. I apologized to the fans behind me, and they said, “Do NOT apologize—it was beautiful to watch.” Through friendships with her team, she always remembered me—even following me on IG. Whenever she knew I was there, she’d come to the edge of the stage, look me in the eyes, & sing Dreamlover—our song—& Always Be My Baby. Even before we spoke, we were on the same frequency. I once predicted her album would be called Cautiously Optimistic. Months later, she announced Caution. Mariah helped shape who I am & helped me survive.
Thank u 4 being legendary—at motherhood, music, & life.
4ever a fan. Love u, 2 infinity. 🌈✨♾️🦋🍯🎄🐑
