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 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.

Brooklyn Beckham and Victoria Beckham are reportedly finally on the same page when it comes to their long-rumoured family rift.

According to Us Weekly, both mother and son have decided to stop trying to repair their fractured relationship at least for now.

“Brooklyn has no interest in mending things at this time,” an insider revealed. 

“He’s really focused on living a peaceful, drama-free life with Nicola. They’ve built their own world together and are very content in it. They want to let things settle naturally rather than trying to fix something that still feels tense.”

Meanwhile, Victoria has also taken a step back, with a source telling The Mirror that the designer doesn’t want to “keep fighting the same fight.”

As she films her upcoming Netflix documentary, Victoria has reportedly found the process “liberating,” even as it stirred up emotions surrounding her fractured bond with Brooklyn.

“It was very much a roller coaster of emotions because of the big thing that’s still affecting her — her fractured relationship with Brooklyn,” the insider shared.

“But it also made her realise that she can’t keep raking over the heartbreak of this situation with him. Enough is enough now,” they added.

“Victoria knows he will one day come back to her, but it’s just not the right time. This project has made her realise how blessed she is to have her family around her and supporting her,” the tipster concluded.
