10-year challenge: Mariah Carey gives her own unique take on Instagram meme

The singer posted her own interpretation of the popular meme on her Instagram page

At the moment, it seems as if you can’t go online without seeing somebody doing the ‘10-Year Challenge’.

The social media sensation sees users upload a photo from 2009 alongside one from this year, with the aim of seeing how much they’ve changed in that time.

Although it’s unknown as to where the trend actually started, it’s been suggested that it could have something to do with Facebook’s “Memories” feature, which reminds you of long-forgotten photos.

However, others suspect it is because 2009 was the year social media really began to take off.

Celebrities including Ellen DeGeneres, Jessica Biel and Tyra Banks have posted their challenges, and now, even Mariah Carey has joined in on the action, although in her classic style she’s added her own stamp to the meme.

The ‘Fantasy’ singer took to Instagram to join in this week, uploading two identical pictures of herself holding a puppy while dressed in a lingerie set and a floral kimono.

Underneath the image, the caption reads: “I don’t get this 10 year challenge, time is not something I acknowledge. *Picture taken at some point prior to today,”

Fans of the star loved the joke, with several writing comments on Mariah’s post that praised her.

“Hahahah, don’t ever change,” said one of her fans.

While another branded her the “Queen of anniversaries”.

Mariah, who is one of the world’s most successful music artists, has enjoyed an impressive comeback in recent years.

Her recent Vegas residency as a sell-out and grossed almost £3million, while she also released her fifteenth studio album, Caution last year.
