With less than two months before the holidays, pop superstar Mariah Carey is facing a lawsuit accusing her of being more like the Grinch than the “Queen of Christmas.”

Carey was hit with a copyright lawsuit Wednesday accusing her of copying a 1989 song called “All I Want for Christmas Is You” — the same title of her 1994 hit that was certified Diamond in 2021. The plaintiffs, Andy Stone and Troy Powers, are co-writers of the earlier song, and Stone performs under the name Vince Vance with the country music band Vince Vance and the Valiants.
