Are we really in for another year of Pride Merch drop -> one-off Summer gig -> Mariah Christmas potpourri product launch -> 30 Christmas interviews filmed in a day, then back into hibernation?

Pride Month may be a few months away, but Mariah Carey and Megan Thee Stallion are ready and waiting to celebrate.

On Tuesday (March 28), L.A. Pride announced that the two superstars would serve as the headliners for 2023’s L.A. Pride in the Park event. Taking place at Los Angeles State Historic Park over two days, Pride in the Park will feature the “WAP” rapper leading the show on Friday, June 9, while the Elusive Chanteuse will receive top-billing for Saturday, June 10. Additional artists have yet to be announced for the concert.

In a statement posted to her Instagram, Carey celebrated the news under a poster of herself and Megan. “I’m thrilled and honored to be a part of LA Pride 2023,” she wrote. “I am happy to be back in-person celebrating with the LGBTQIA+ community here in Southern California and throughout all of the lands!!! Let’s come together to celebrate love, inclusion, and Pride.”

The “Savage” rapper also put out a statement, writing, “I can’t wait to headline LA Pride in the Park and celebrate the phenomenal LGBTQIA+ community. This incredible event advocates for diversity, inclusivity and equality, so I’m honored to perform and have a blast with all of the Hotties in attendance.”

Along with announcing the pair of artists as this year’s headliners, L.A. Pride also shared that the official theme of the festivities this year is “All Out With Pride,” aiming to celebrate “the LGBTQIA+ community’s diversity, resilience, and joy,” according to a statement.

“Mariah Carey and Megan Thee Stallion are the perfect artists to headline L.A. Pride in the Park this year as we expand to two days,” L.A. Pride’s board president Gerald Garth said in a statement. “These empowering and iconic women are sure to take the stage by storm to celebrate the LGBTQIA+ community and will undoubtedly make this year’s L.A. Pride in the Park an unforgettable experience.”

Last year’s L.A. Pride festivities culminated in a headlining Pride in the Park set from Christina Aguilera, which featured guest appearances from stars like Mya, Kim Petras and Paris Hilton. “I’m so proud to call you my family,” Xtina said during her set last year. “You are a part of me and I’m so happy to bring this to you.”

Tickets for 2023’s L.A. Pride in the Park are now available to purchase on the L.A.Pride website. Check out Mariah’s Instagram statement below:


Scream. Well that's one thing checked off the list.
 
Think I've decided that Dreamlover may just very well be my favourite Mariah Carey song of SO many classics to chose from. It just never fails to be put me in a good mood when I listen to it. Her vocals are so lush and airy on it and the song is a like a piece of sunshine that can warm up even the coldest of days. Sounds especially amazing during the Spring and Summer most of all. In short, just perfection.

Agreed! Dreamlover, Always Be My Baby, Honey and Fantasy, are all 10's for me with the same sunny 'early' Mariah signature feel.

Dreamlover is late spring
Fantasy is the start of summer
Honey is the height of summer (side eye)
Always be my baby is summer turning to autumn

All Mariah is incredible but first decade Mariah is truly untouchable.
 
It’s kind of wild that she still hasn’t signed a distribution deal with one of the majors. I wonder what’s going on. I assume she’s not going to put out an album on her own—she would need a deal where she owns the masters but the label takes care of distribution and promo, like Rihanna and Beyonce have.

This is spot on and playing these back to back, is truly everything.
 
"...with the backdrop of perhaps the funniest-ever use of a Mariah Carey tune"

"One of the more expensive features of the movie, surely? Clearing the rights to a certain Mariah Carey song, whose usage in the movie is going to send people over the edge."
