Mariah just became MusiCares’ Person of the Year for 2026.

MusiCares, a nonprofit organization that supports musicians in times of financial, personal, or medical need, announced that they would honour the Emotions singer on a gala that will be held on January 30, 2026.

Reacting to the news, Mariah expressed her happiness through her official Instagram post, writing, “I’m so honored to be named the 2026 MusiCares’ Person of the Year.”

“Grateful to be celebrated through this special GRAMMY Week event, raising vital funds to support the music community year-round,” she added.

Amid the event, producers will celebrate Mariah’s “extraordinary career as well as her long-standing commitment to supporting communities and people in need.”

It is also pertinent to mention that in the past, the Believe hitmaker has contributed to relief efforts for the communities impacted by Hurricane Katrina and the Covid-19 pandemic.

“We are honoured to recognise Mariah Carey as this year’s MusiCares Person of the Year, a true creative force and once-in-a-generation talent,” praised Harvey Mason Jr., chief executive officer of the Recording Academy and MusiCares.

“Her artistry and her voice have helped shape the sound of our times. We look forward to celebrating her remarkable career on this very special night,” he added.

The Person of the Year benefit gala will be held at the Los Angeles Convention Center and will take place two nights before the 2026 Grammy Awards.

Mariah Carey joins a distinguished list of MusiCares honourees, including Jon Bon Jovi, Joni Mitchell, Dolly Parton, and Fleetwood Mac.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have joined ‘unprecedented coalition’ after major warning from the experts.

The California-based royal couple released a big statement after the move.

They shared the statement via their Archewell Foundation.

It reads, “Prince Harry and Meghan, Duke and Duchess of Sussex were asked to join an unprecedented coalition of world-renowned leaders including AI scientists, experts, policy makers, and researchers in calling for a prohibition on the development of AI superintelligence until the technology is reliably safe and controllable and has public buy-in.”

This first of its kind coalition is remarkably ideologically diverse and global, signaling strong concern about the future of AI technology.

They further said superintelligence is defined as artificial intelligence capable of outperforming all humans at most cognitive tasks.

Leading AI experts believe that such systems are less than ten years away and warn that “we do not know how to control superintelligence were it to be created.”

“While innovation in AI offers incredible potential for progress, rushing toward superintelligence without safeguards could have unthinkable consequences for humanity,” they added.

Joining this coalition affirms Meghan and Harry’s continued commitment to advocating for responsible technology, both as digital safety advocates and as parents. 

Meghan Markle would never agree to return to the UK, claims an expert.

The Duchess of Sussex, who left her spot as a Senior Royal back in 2020 and flew to the US with husband Prince Harry, is reportedly hoping to move back across the Atlantic.

Journalist Phil Dampier, however, suggests there is no possibility for this since the Duchess is not popular across the pond.

“I think the only time he’s going to come back here is on his own,” he told The Sun’s Royal Exclusive podcast. “I think she knows how unpopular she is here.”

Prince Harry left the Royal Family back in 2020 alongside wife Meghan Markle and son, Prince Archie. The couple later accused the Royal Family of showcasing racism towards their son and publicly shared their grievances on television. Harry and Meghan now live in California, where they also welcomed their daughter, Princess Lilibet.
