Now that it's 2021, a lot of us are doing our best to be grateful for what we have.

This recently included "Mercy" and "Stitches" singer Shawn Mendes, who shared his gratefulness for being alive, beautiful mornings and, let's not forget, music.


Mendes posted a selfie on Instagram with his arms stretched open wide, shirtless, with his eyes closed and face tipped up toward the sunlight with a large field trailing behind him.

In the caption, Mendes wrote:

"Grateful. The sun, coffee, my health, my family, old Mariah Carey songs, music, humans!!!"

Most of this is very sweet and makes sense; we can all relate to loving the sun and some version of coffee.

Maybe the exclamation points were a bit much.

And what is this about "old Mariah Carey songs"?!

Well, rest assured, Mendes' post didn't go unnoticed, even by the Queen MC herself.

But "Butterfly" and "Daydream" singer Mariah Carey didn't just respond to Mendes' Instagram post, oh no.

Instead, Carey recreated the photo on Twitter with arms stretched wide, sunshine, and all.

A beautiful autumn-like setting was behind her as Carey stretched her arms wide and smiled up toward the sky, looking absolutely grateful.

Carey captioned the photo:

"Grateful. The sun, tea, my health, my family, old Shawn Mendes songs, music, humans!!!"

The difference in the lengths of their careers aside, this was an expert-level, friendly jab at her fellow artist.

We're here for the comradery, and so was Twitter. Clearly, Mariah Carey had her viewers "in stitches."

Some simply came along for the humor.



Others were not ready for Mariah Carey's level of "shade."



Some couldn't get past the "old Shawn Mendes songs."



And of course, a few had to point out: there's no such thing as an "old Mariah Carey song."

It would have been one thing if the artists had been actively jabbing at each other's age or musical talents or how they made it through 2020. But since this was clearly for fun, it was really hilarious to watch the banter.

Bring on the old Shawn Mendes songs!

RFK Jr. Admits That Banning Fluoridated Water Will Cause 'More Cavities'—But He's OK With That

Health and Human Services Secretary (HHS) Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was criticized after admitting in a Fox News interview with Harris Faulkner that his proposed fluoridated water ban would likely lead people to have more cavities—but defended the move nonetheless.

While fluoride is not federally mandated in drinking water, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) had long recommended its inclusion. Fluoride helps prevent cavities by strengthening enamel, and numerous studies have shown that fluoridated water reduces tooth decay in both children and adults.

Jesse Watters Dragged After Trying To Give Mamdani A Scary Nickname That's Actually Kind Of Epic

Fox News personality Jesse Watters was widely mocked after he tried to give New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani a scary nickname in the vein of Conan the Destroyer—only for it to backfire considerably.

Watters is the latest member of the GOP to lash out at Mamdani, a democratic socialist who handily defeated former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo in New York City's Democratic mayoral primary last week.

MAGA Rep Slammed After Calling For Mamdani To Be Stripped Of His Citizenship And Deported Over Rap Lyric

Tennessee Republican Andy Ogles was called out after he shared a letter he sent to Attorney General Pam Bondi urging her to denaturalize and deport New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani over a lyric in a rap song Mamdani released in 2017.

Mamdani ran a campaign centered around economic populism, arguing that the city, a global financial center, has grown unaffordable for everyday residents, citing soaring rents and grocery prices, and outlining policies aimed at reducing the cost of living.
