The Queen of Christmas is currently on her Christmas Time Tour
AI Mariah Carey? The Queen of Christmas doesn’t know her.
The Grammy winner responded to a post on X (formerly Twitter) after fans questioned whether a personalized Spotify Wrapped message was made with artificial intelligence.
“Bad lighting and a red lip have you all thinking this is AI??” Carey, 55, wrote on Dec. 5 before taking the stage at Boston’s TD Garden.
“There’s a reason I’m not a fan of either of those things! About to celebrate #Christmastime with my Boston #lambily! 💘💘💘.”

As part of Spotify Wrapped, many artists made videos for their top listeners. In Carey’s video, she told fans, “Thank you so much for listening to my music on Spotify. Your support through the year is the greatest gift I could ask for.”

She continued, “This year we’re celebrating the 30th anniversary of my album Merry Christmas. I hope you enjoy listening to it and I can’t wait to share new music with you soon.”
The “Obsessed” singer signed off the video by blowing a kiss and wishing fans a happy holiday season.

Carey is currently on her Christmas Time tour, which kicked off on Nov. 6. She’s stopping in 20 cities for her festive concert run before wrapping in New York City. Her 13-year-old twins Moroccan and Monroe performed during the intermission at her Los Angeles show on Nov. 8.

The song, which has become a musical staple throughout the holiday season, was inducted into the Library of Congress’ National Recording Registry in April 2023.
In December 2023, she released a new music video for the song packed with tour footage.
Most recently, Carey announced exclusively with PEOPLE that she would be taking over SiriusXM’s Holly station on Mondays in December leading up to Christmas for Mariah Mondays.
