Our Butterfly Queen was in London performing at Capital’s Summertime Ball. She looked great, she sounded stronger than she has in a long time and… if you haven’t seen it yet… let me show you something you might not believe. Like when I first saw it I thought it was A.I. 

 

Mimi actually walked, a lot (by her standards), cross the stage. BY HERSELF. What? No, you are not hallucinating. No this isn’t a conspiracy – it’s real, it happened, and there were witnesses.

She walked down a whole ass runway! While singing!

Here’s a better angle of it, and the caption is sending me… 

“The diva took her first steps alone in a long time”, LOLOLOLOL. 

 

Mimi, as we have seen, is feeling herself, so hard, right now. She’s serving face, she’s serving body, she’s serving new music, and there’s a new video for “Type Dangerous” that just dropped yesterday and these visuals are first class. Mostly because, obviously, the lighting is first class. Lighting, by the way, is mentioned, of course it is, darling. Lighting is always a supporting character in a Mariah Carey moment, although there’s another supporting character in the video making headlines: Mr Beast. 

 

He's the target of one of her most famous clapbacks, “I don’t know her”, repurposed with a new pronoun. Which is hilarious because, sure, why would Mimi know Mr Beast (her kids, probably) but also, like, the video is on YouTube, and Mr Beast has the most subscribers on YouTube. So she’s found a way to leverage the platform, but also maintain hierarchy. It doesn’t matter how many followers he has, if he’s in the room with Mimi, she’ll always be the one. And also, you better come correct.

Like did Mr Beast get a glow-up? Did she require the glow-up? Because I could barely recognise him. People have been talking about this for a couple of months now, at least, and he posted photos of himself back in May but it was unknown at the time what they were for… but we have the answer now. Same outfit from the video. 

 

I wish we could know how that conversation went down. What notes did Mimi pass on to Mr Beast, through her representatives, of course, about his look in order to be suitable for her video?
