Mariah Carey on Katy Perry: 'Where'd She Go?'

Canada, more recently, and Montreal more specifically. But before all that, space! She even promoted her world tour up there.

After being informed on the situation, she muses to nobody in particular: “Into orbit and back? She’s like, floating in the… and this is true? Wow.” I think her summation of the situation is my summation of the situation, following her brief spaceside visit. “Alright Katy.” As for whether she’d go herself, Carey says she “thinks I’ve done enough.” Which is true! She’s done more than most people in this industry, as I pointed out in 2023: “She wrote her 1990 debut single ‘Vision of Love’ at only 17, after which it spent four weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. She is likewise the only songwriter in history to have three songs released at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100: ‘Fantasy,’ ‘Honey’ and ‘One Sweet Day.’”

She’s also written 18 of her 19 No. 1 singles over her career, one of the only in songwriting history to pull off such an achievement. I think she’s good on space!

Besides, Carey is hard at work on a new album, as I mentioned, which is due anytime now. In an interview with Zane Lowe and Ebro Darden earlier this year, she claimed “I’m trying not to tell too much about the new album. ‘It’s a special occasion/ Mimi’s emancipation’ — that’s a lyric from one of my songs.”
