In the glitzy world of the rich and famous, Mariah Carey bucks the trend. It’s not her fancy car collection that turns heads, but the fact that she’s been license-free for years. Despite swimming in a fortune of $350 million, the 54-year-old steering clear of the driver’s seat isn’t about flaunting wealth. Instead, it’s a quirky choice she’s made, steering away from the usual extravagance.

But hold up, the shocker here is that the record producer is no longer into driving, and people are raising their eyebrows about it. Let’s talk facts: Carey is the ultimate diva.
She’s got 20 humidifiers on standby for her voice and goes silent a day before belting out those tunes. But the diva move to top all diva moves? She hasn’t taken the wheel in ages.
This week, she spilled the beans on The Jennifer Hudson Show, admitting she’s been license-free for seven years. Why? Well, she’s not a fan of solo drives; it’s better with a buddy. She said,
“If there were one street that I could say, OK, this is a safe street for me to drive I would do that. But the thing is, it’s just better for me to go with somebody in the car and not drive.”
Further, the songwriter explained,
“I don’t have a license because I let it expire. I did have one and then I left where I was living. I was living in the city, and you don’t really want to drive in Manhattan. Well, I don’t. And then when I went to go, be like, OK, my license. They were like, Oh, well, it’s expired, and it expired like seven years ago.”
Living in the city’s no-driving Manhattan style, she decided it was just not her thing. So, when she finally tried to sort out her license, surprise! It expired seven years ago.
Her ride-free lifestyle is turning heads, leaving fans guessing, and just when you think it couldn’t get any juicier, Carey throws in another curveball.
Mariah Carey Dropped A Fashion Bombshell: No Sneakers For Her
So, an American singer just let us in on a fashion secret. When asked about her chill wardrobe, she dropped a bomb; no sneakers in her closet!
According to Carey, you won’t catch her sporting sneakers; she’s more into hideous slides someone talked her into buying. Why the sneaker aversion? Sores, she claims. Heels are her go-to because she’s a toe-walker, keeping it real.
On The Jennifer Hudson Show, the Emotions vocalist said,
“Probably some hideous slides that someone made me purchase. Because I don’t own sneakers. Because I get a blister on the back of my foot.”
This revelation adds a new layer to her style, diva vibes even in casual kicks. Now, let’s talk about her timeless hit, All I Want for Christmas Is You. It’s been almost 30 years, and she’s still breaking records, snagging three awards from Guinness World Records.
It includes Billboard’s solo artist record for the highest-charting holiday song on the Hot 100. However, Carey’s fashion game is on point, proving that even her laid-back style is all about flair and sophistication.
