Mariah Carey Says the Grammys Are ‘Overrated’

Mariah Carey appeared on Pitchfork’s Over/Under series on Thursday (Aug. 14) to weigh in on pop culture symbols like Labubus (“rated”), Christmas (“underrated”), and Crocs. “It took me a minute to start dealing with Crocs,” Carey said of the divisive footwear. “But they’re very comfortable on the foot, and I care about that, but nobody knows that. Everybody loves Crocs, but they’re not my first shoe of choice. Rated.” But a particularly honest moment came when Carey shared her opinion on the Grammys. She's received the award five times since 1991, when Carey won best new artist and female pop vocal performance. “Ha, I think the Grammys are overrated,” the Touch My Body artist said, clarifying Carey meant both the show and the award itself “But we love everybody,” she added. The 56-year-old has been nominated 34 times in the past four decades, and she took home three gold-plated gramophones for The Emancipation of Mimi in 2006.
