Mariah Carey shows off her incredible figure in a patriotic string bikini to celebrate 4th July

Independence day:

It’s the Fourth of July and what better excuse does a gorgeous celebrity need to strip down to a very patriotic bikini?

Singer and overall pop goddess Mariah Carey decided to do just that and slipped into a stars and stripes bikini to help kick off the Independence Day celebrations.

The City of Irving will hold its annual two-part celebration of America's independence on Monday, July 4, 2016. Thousands of attendees enjoy the wide variety of activities throughout the day each year, including an award-winning parade, community reception, and evening festival with fireworks display.

Of course, she wasn’t just posing up for our viewing pleasure but also promoting her Macy’s performance later today.
As she shared a picture of herself lying on a boat looking sensational, the 43-year-old told her 11.6million followers: “Gotta be Pon de water for the Fourth of July! Can't wait for the NBC special, it's going to be festivity!”
And if Mariah is going to be in a bikini, the ratings are sure to go through the roof.

She recently announced that her new album The Art of Letting Go is being delayed, so to tie you over with your Mariah Carey cravings here are two new remixes of her first single from the new album, called (modestly as ever) Beautiful.
 

Or #Beautiful, which is its official title.
The album, which was meant to be dropping in July, is postponed indefinitely.
The American Idol judge tweeted:"While making this album, I got so immersed in the creative process that I just don't feel I would be doing it justice to release it on 7/23."

"I'd rather not exclude meaningful songs. I want to give you this album as it's meant to be heard. When I'm ready, you'll be the first 2 know!"
OK, as long as we're the very first to know Mariah.

Miguel, who duets with Mariah on '#Beautiful' had this to say about the Twitter friendly title.

"The hashtag in the title of this song is particularly fitting because the word that comes before 'beautiful' when I sing the chorus is an expletive that I can't say on air," he said, referring to the F-word he sings on song's hook.
"But the hashtag is particularly fitting for that expletive, if you just kind of pay a little bit of attention."
