Regarding the reissue, Carey shared: “If someone had told me back in 2001 that I’d one day be unironically celebrating Glitter‘s 25th anniversary, I never would have believed them. I made this album with so much love and care, so it was devastating to watch it become a punchline. I’m endlessly grateful to my fans who kept championing it all these years, and I hope even more people can finally hear it for what it is. We found a few recordings buried in the vault that I am really looking forward to sharing with you in October!”
Earlier this year, Carey joined Andrea Bocelli in a performance at the Opening Ceremonies of the Milan Cortina Olympic Games. Carey offered up a stunning performance of the Italian staple “Volare” and her 2025 hit “Nothing Is Impossible.”
