A.D. Amorosi One might think that on the 25th anniversary of her seminal 1997 album “Butterfly” and the release of her new butterfly-themed Chopard jewelry collab with Caroline Scheufele this week, Mariah Carey would be all about butterflies, the beauty of winged flight and transformational-metamorphosis metaphors.

It is just something that happened. When I made that album, I was leaving a point in my life that was extremely stifling and I had to go through an actual metamorphosis to become a grown woman who was strong enough to get out of that situation. It was me breaking through, to become free enough to fly.”

Yesss!!!
On the podcast, the Duchess of Sussex noted she immediately had some “nervous laughter” after she thought Mariah was trying to get in a “dig” by calling her a diva. But quickly, Meghan said the Queen of Christmas “jumped right in to make sure I was crystal clear that when she said diva, she was talking about the way I dress, the posture, the clothing” — and not her personality. Mariah explained at the time:
Time and time again, the word gets thrown around in such a negative way — so it’s nice to see someone always embracing it in such a positive light. And you know, it kind of makes sense that the 53-year-old Grammy winner sees “diva” as complimentary. For her, it’s game recognize game! Ha!
