Mariah Carey could release exactly zero new singles or movies or books, delete her social media, and never appear in public again, and still maintain her unimpeachable icon status. And yet she gives us so much, so often.
Her latest offering: one hilarious, era-defining tweet that has racked up 223,000 likes and counting, concerning her almost-name twin, Nobel-prize winning chemist and physicist Marie Curie.
Allow me to set the scene: comedian Eileen Mary O'Connell tweeted Monday, "Thinking about the time that I said that I was distantly related to Marie Curie and a guy explained 'It's pronounced Mariah Carey.'"
Said tweet went viral, and caught the attention of Carey herself, who decided to make magic. Quoting O'Connell's tweet, she wrote, "She has two Nobel prizes, I have two Diamond albums, we're practically the same person." There it is. A perfect tweet.
