Mariah Carey Announces She Will Be Chatting with SZA!

The R&B universe is about to collide in the most glamorous way possible: Mariah Carey has announced that she’ll be chatting with SZA in New York City on Tuesday, September 24, 2025. Just days before the release of her highly anticipated new album Here For It All (dropping September 26), Mariah is setting the stage for an iconic moment with one of today’s most celebrated voices.

The news broke through Instagram Stories, where Mariah responded to SZA’s floral gift and heartfelt note with a teasing message: “9.24.25. See you soon… XX MC.” Fans instantly clocked the date, sparking speculation that this isn’t just a casual meet-up but a full-on pre-release event. Whether it’s a conversation, a mini-listening party, or a collab tease, Lambily and SZA’s Solana Nation are ready to set their alarms.

Why This Matters

• A Cross-Generational R&B Dream: Mariah Carey is the blueprint, and SZA has become one of the defining R&B voices of this era. The two publicly shared admiration for each other earlier this year, with Mariah praising SZA’s artistry and SZA returning the flowers—literally.

• Album Rollout Energy: With Here For It All landing just two days later, the timing couldn’t be better. Mariah has a long history of creating unforgettable album rollouts, and this conversation could be the spark that sets social media on fire.

As of now, no official livestream or platform details have been confirmed. That hasn’t stopped fans from speculating that a surprise performance or collaboration announcement could be in the works. After all, Mariah is the queen of surprises—and what better way to launch a new era than alongside SZA?

This upcoming Mariah Carey x SZA chat is already shaping up to be one of the most talked-about music moments of the year. Whether it’s an intimate conversation, a pre-release listening, or the birth of a new collaboration, one thing is certain: the internet will be watching—and replaying every clip for weeks to come.

Stay tuned, because on September 24, 2025, R&B royalty will meet in New York City, and we’ll all be front-row (even if virtually).
