What is going on here? This is the first time I've ever seen this sort of thing, not revealing your true age, truly Blanche Devereaux teas

Well she is the Elusive Chanteuse after all

I know some celebs say they're a few years younger but 1 year? That's new 

[River 116,212]

Yeah because when the nurse registered her as a baby she asked her fellow nurse "sis what is the year now?" so she reply "idk 1969 or 1970" so this is what was recorded on her birth certificate.

Well, my sister has forgotten her own son's age -- she said tonight that he was born in 2010, but it was 2011.

When Carey’s self-titled debut album came out in June 1990, The New York Timesreported that she was 20 years old. In 1999, Mariah Carey’s own mother told Oprah that the Elusive Chanteuse was born in 1970. The copies of the birth certificates for her twin children Monroe and Moroccan posted by TMZ’s TooFab list her birthday as 1970. Multiple biographies also say that she was born in 1970. 

But in January 1991, People and The Los Angeles Times reported that Carey was 21, supporting the 1969 hypothesis. The LA Times literally headlined their article “Mariah Carey Doing OK At 21.” And she graduated from high school in 1987, which means that if she was born in 1970, she would’ve graduated early at 17. Even the Library Of Congress’s Copyright Catalog seems to think she was born in 1969.

There’s stuff floating around on the internet that supposedly proves she was born in 1969. There’s an image of her passport that lists her birth year as 1969, and there’s a statement from a People spokespersonsaying that they confirmed through her driver’s license and high school administrators that she was born in 1969. Neither, however, can be verified as authentic.

Tones And I not telling people whether she’s 19 or 26 teas

I noticed this a long time ago on her wiki and I always thought since she’s such a diva that saying she’s born in 1969, the 60s decade, that sounds so much older than being born in 1970 so that’s why she preferred to say that? 

[Patriziaa Reggiani 7,647]

She doesn't look her age either ways, Ageless Queen 

[Bonkers 29,480]

If the choices are 1969 or 1970, its 1969.

Of course, that's what she wants you to think.

It's 1932.  She sold her soul to that same witch that made Cher stay young and gave Beyonce the ability to sing and dance.

[Gaga Lazuli 8,654]

She looks like she was born in the 2000's

1970

I think it’s just a small detail of her that makes her so iconic. No one else could get away with this 

[migamiga 12,101]

It doesn’t matter. She’s 12 either way
