In a recent appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, legendary singer Mariah Carey expressed her gratitude for the mention she received in Britney Spears’ new memoir, The Woman in Me. Host Jimmy Kimmel asked Carey about her awareness of being featured in the book, and the pop icon described it as “super sweet.”
The memoir recounts an encounter between the two pop icons at an award show, where Spears knocked on Carey’s dressing room door. Spears described the moment as being bathed in an ethereal light, comparing it to today’s popular ring lights. She playfully mentioned that she couldn’t just say Mariah’s first name, emphasizing her admiration for the iconic diva.
Carey, known for her meticulous attention to detail, confirmed that she did indeed have a ring light back in 2003 because she preferred a specific lighting setup. In a heartwarming gesture, Spears credited Carey with teaching her everything she knew about lighting. Carey responded graciously, saying, “By the way, that was super sweet what Britney said about me.”
This acknowledgment of their connection is not the first time the two artists have supported each other. In 2021, Mariah Carey reached out to Britney Spears during the height of her conservatorship battle, assuring her that she was not alone. Spears, who was under a restrictive conservatorship for 13 years, was finally freed in November 2021, a decision that Carey applauded, emphasizing that everyone deserves their freedom.
As the festive season approached, Mariah Carey continued her tradition of welcoming it with flair. In a visually captivating video, Carey, dressed in Christmas-themed attire, is depicted frozen in a block of ice. Four people in Halloween costumes defrost her as the clock strikes midnight on November 1st, with Carey’s iconic high-pitched voice exclaiming, “It’s time!” This spectacle added an extra touch of holiday spirit to the heartwarming story of two music icons, Mariah Carey and Britney Spears.
