how old mariah carey

Mariah Carey is 56 years old as of 2026.

How that age is calculated

• Multiple biographical sources list her birthdate as March 27, 1969.

• Given that it is now 2026, a 1969 birth year makes her 56 years old (she turned 56 in March 2025 and will turn 57 in March 2026).

There has been some fan discussion and minor confusion over whether her birth year is 1969 or 1970, but major reference sites and chart histories consistently use 1969.
