Mariah Carey and Ariana Grande have nothing but endless love for each other. Not only did the pair team up on the 31-year-old pop star's February remix of Billboard Hot 100-topping single "Yes, And?", but Grande also recently gushed about her love for the Songbird Supreme in an on-camera Vanity Fair lie-detector test - a few days after which Carey responded via Instagram Stories.
"Love you Ariana Grande," MiMi wrote Sunday (October 6), sharing a clip of the video in which Grande calls her the "queen of my life" amid a line of questioning from Wicked costar Cynthia Erivo. "I can't wait for the movie," Carey added, referencing the first of the two upcoming Wicked films, the first of which arrives November 22.
In the full clip from the lie-detector test, Erivo tells the "We Can't Be Friends" singer to name her favorite past collaborator before sliding a photo of Carey across the table. "Was it this person?" the Harriet star asks.
"Mariah is the queen of my life," Grande responds in the video. "I think I have to say you. Wicked is a very unique thing that we got to do. Singing face to face together, and hearing your voice in my ears... it's like the best thing that's ever happened to me in my life. Obviously, Mariah, but obviously, you! Can't we have a tie?"
Carey was one of a few people with whom the Victorious alum has collaborated amid her Eternal Sunshine era. Brandy and Monica fittingly joined her for a June remix of "The Boy Is Mine", while Troye Sivan jumped on a revamped version of "Supernatural" in March.
Grande recently repackaged all of the Eternal Sunshine remixes into a deluxe edition of the album, which arrived October 1 and also features brand new live performances of seven tracks on the LP: "Intro (End of the World)", "Don't Wanna Break Up Again", "Eternal Sunshine", "Supernatural", "Imperfect for You", "Yes, And?" and "We Can't Be Friends (Wait for Your Love)". Videos of the live performances rolled out on the vocalist's YouTube channel one by one this past week.
Meanwhile, Carey has been gearing up for her yearly Christmas festivities, which in 2024 will include another holiday tour. The "Obsessed" artist teased as much while speaking to Entertainment Tonight on the American Music Awards red carpet Sunday, shortly before performing at the ceremony in celebration of the award show's 50th anniversary.
"It is going very well," she told ET. "We just finished up working on my setlist, getting the whole stage together, the ensembles, the fits - all of it."
