Mariah Carey’s kids are fans of Olivia Rodrigo, Sabrina Carpenter

“Ber” months in the Philippines are fast approaching. Just weeks away until we start hearing iconic Christmas songs like that of Mariah Carey’s “All I Want For Christmas is You.”

She may be the voice behind some of the most iconic songs in music history, and well loved in the Philippines, but when it comes to her children’s playlists, she’s not always the star.

While Carey has never shied away from being playful about her “diva” status, she candidly shared that her kids often lean toward today’s chart-topping pop stars.

“Sometimes I hold back from playing my songs to my kids as they have their own taste,” Carey admitted, according to The Sun. “Roe loves Olivia Rodrigo, and Roc loves Sabrina Carpenter.”

Interestingly, Carey doesn’t see this as a competition but rather as a way to connect with the younger generation. She noted in a separate chat with Harper’s Bazaar that she’s familiar with the likes of Filipino American singer-songwriter Rodrigo, Carpenter and Tate McRae since those names frequently come up in her daughter’s playlists. 

“I keep up with them because they’re on Roe’s list,” she explained, showing that even global icons take cues from their children’s musical choices.

Still, Carey is far from slowing down. She teased her upcoming album as a blend of funky, 70s-inspired R&B, with potential collaborations and remixes in the works. “We might have a duet with Anderson .Paak. It’s like a Seventies R’n’B vibe. It’s funky,” she revealed. 

The singer added that her process is meticulous, often waiting until songs are fully polished before sharing them even with those closest to her.
