Twitter user @peppaisintears made a strange observation noting that Mariah Carey’s mother and former opera singer/vocal coach, Patricia Carey, 84, is the octogenarian version of Taylor Swift.

Apparently, Internet users could not agree more, because so far the tweet It has obtained more than 300 thousand “likes”. In addition, many users made some puns, referring to Taylor’s songs and Patricia’s age.

I don’t know about you, but I feel 72!

Mariah and Taylor have a good relationship. In fact, both have coincided in several shows over the years and on several occasions they have been seen supporting each other, such as when the interpreter of I Knew You Were Trouble was caught by the cameras dancing during the epic presentation of the singer of All I Want For Christmas at the 2019 Billboard Awards. For this reason, Mariah reacted to the love shown by Tay-Tay through a tweet:

I love you! Thank you for your incredible energy!

But as for Mariah and her mother, we cannot say the same, because it is no secret to anyone that the relationship between the two has always been complicated, since the artist has declared that her mother made singing and life feel like a competition. . Patricia Carey gave up her career and her dreams to start a family, something Mariah sees as a “cautionary tale.”

I reserved some space in my heart and in my life to hug her, but with limits. Creating boundaries with the woman who gave birth to me isn’t easy, it’s a work in progress.

For now, there is nothing left but to wait to see if time proves us right when Taylor Swift turns 84.
