Mariah Carey Just Ended FaceApp With A Single Tweet, And We're Not Worthy

The FaceApp trend, where people are obsessively showing dramatically aged versions of themselves, is still flooding social media news feeds.

Are you an active participant?

Singer Mariah Carey said, "no thanks."

FaceApp, it was nice knowing you. (not really.)


Before Carey's dismissal of the viral trend, FaceApp blew up everywhere and even celebrities joined in on the fun, including the likes of Shazam! actor Zachary Levi.


NBA legend LeBron James advanced his age.


The Jonas Brothers gave us a triple dose of the weirdness.

Comedian Amy Schumer posted a twist on the fad that didn't seem to be losing any steam at the time.

Enter Mariah Carey, who on Thursday tweeted:

"FaceApp is not something I acknowledge."

The queen has spoken.

And why would the 49-year-old pop diva endorse an app that trivializes the gradual degeneration of our faces?

Not to mention, the "GTFO" singer defies the aging process anyway.

So there's that.






Suddenly, people are beginning to see the light after the Butterfly spoke.

Yes, the mobile software application is Russian-based and is in the midst of a political controversy.

Democrats fear the app could pose "national security and privacy risks for millions of U.S. citizens."

On Wednesday, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer wrote a letter to FBI director Christopher Wray and FTC Chairman Joseph Simons, expressing concerns that:

"personal data uploaded by millions of Americans onto FaceApp may be finding its way into the hands of the Russian government."

Despite FaceApp's CEO, Yaroslav Goncharov, assuring The Washington Post that the app doesn't "sell or share any user data with any third parties," DNC's chief security officer, Bob Lord, echoed Schumer's concern and discouraged 2020 presidential candidates from using the trending application.

Lord wrote:

"It's not clear at this point what the privacy risks are, but what is clear is that the benefits of avoiding the app outweigh the risks."


Whatever the controversy, FaceApp is still a creepy app that needs to fade into existence already.

Many Mariah Carey fans agree with her casual lack of interest in Russia's alleged private data-stealing time suck.

Speaking of Mariah fans, you can get her CD Caution here.

Besides, when it comes to getting old, time is on her side.

Dem Rep. Offers Brutally Accurate Reason For Why He Can't Understand 'The Mind Of Donald Trump'

Massachusetts Democratic Representative Seth Moulton made a fitting observation about President Donald Trump's mind after Trump gave a 20-minute address to the nation about his war in Iran on Wednesday evening.

Trump claimed “core strategic objectives are nearing completion” in the Iran war and vowed to strike Iran "extremely hard" over the next two to three weeks. He said that he would finish the job "very fast," without setting any timeline for ending the war. He pledged to "bring them [Iranians] back to the Stone Ages, where they belong.”

The video, posted on Instagram, shows a group of Iraqi sports fans standing in an airport holding a banner with Arabic and Spanish writing. The fans were there to support Iraq during their World Cup qualifier against Bolivia, which resulted in a 2-1 upset victory earlier that day.

Videos Of Squirrels Trying To 'Vape' Are Going Viral—And We Don't Know Whether To Laugh Or Cry

Some viral videos come along that leave us unsure whether we should laugh or cry. In the case of squirrels trying to vape, crying is unfortunately the more likely outcome.

E-cigarettes have dramatically increased in popularity in recent years and are often even portrayed as a cool accessory on social media. Unfortunately, disposable, one-time-use e-cigarettes have been made affordable and easily accessible, and instead of properly disposing of them, people often leave them on the ground like cigarette butts.
