Mariah Carey wins the 10-Year Challenge: "Time is not something I acknowledge"
If you’ve been on social media in the last week or so, you’ve probably seen people taking part in something called the “10-Year Challenge,” a low-effort, oft-charming meme that involves posting a picture of yourself from 2009 alongside a picture of yourself now. We regret to inform you, however, that the challenge is over. Ladies and gentlemen: Mariah Carey.
This tongue-in-cheek post is, of course, playing off the fact that Carey hasn’t aged a damn day in the last ten years. Seriously. Go look up a real photo of her from 2009. Mariah Carey is eternal. But, while everyone surely got a good laugh out of Carey’s undercutting of the popular meme, it was actually her choice of phrasing that inspired a whole new trend. 2019's new mantra? “Time is not something I acknowledge.”
