Mariah Carey hailed the crowd at Brighton Pride 2025 as 'amazing' after headlining the iconic LGBTQ+ event at Preston Park. The five-time Grammy Award winner, who has sold over 220 million albums worldwide, said she felt at home 'amongst friends' and praised the energy, love, and warmth of the community.
Carey's bond with the LGBTQ+ community runs deep, dating back to her childhood when she was surrounded by her mother's gay friends—affectionately known as her 'guncles'. She recalled performing plays for them as a young girl, calling those moments formative and joyful.
