Mariah Carey recently sparked concern among her fans after a video from one of her Las Vegas residency shows surfaced online. 

The brief clip, posted by an attendee, showed the 55-year-old music icon delivering a performance

that appeared to lack her usual energy, raising questions about her well-being

Sluggish Movements Raise Questions

The video, which circulated on social media last week, featured Carey interacting with a backup dancer while singing a medley of her hits.

However, fans quickly noticed that her movements seemed slower than usual. In contrast, her dancer displayed high energy, further emphasizing the difference in pace.

Fans flooded the comment section with speculation and concern, with many wondering if Carey was feeling unwell. One fan wrote, “Omg, is she okay?” while another asked, “Is she in pain?

What is going on?” Others shared their worries more affectionately, with one saying, “I’m a little worried about my Mimi,” alongside a heart emoji

Some comments took a lighter approach, joking about her reserved energy levels. A viewer quipped, “She saves her energy for Christmas 25,” referencing her legendary holiday performances.

Another compared her movements to those of President Joe Biden, while a Devil Wears Prada fan jokingly commented, “By all means, move at a glacial pace.”

Wrapping Up Her Las Vegas Residency

Carey is currently finishing up her Las Vegas residency, The Celebration of Mimi, which launched in 2023. The residency, held at The Dolby Live at Park MGM, has been a celebration of her iconic career and a treat for longtime fans.

However, with only a few days left before the residency concludes on February 15, some fans worry that fatigue or health concerns could be affecting her performances.

Despite the speculation, Carey has not addressed the concerns publicly. However, given the physical and vocal demands of performing regularly in Las Vegas, some supporters have suggested that she may simply be pacing herself to maintain her vocal health.

Romance Rumors with Anderson .Paak

Outside of her performances, Carey has been making headlines for her rumored relationship with musician Anderson .Paak. The two first sparked dating rumors in December 2024 when they were spotted together in Aspen, Colorado.

Paparazzi captured the duo enjoying a dinner date at Catch Steak, where .Paak was seen holding Carey’s hand as they entered the restaurant. At one point, he even wrapped his arm around her waist, leading many to believe the two were romantically involved.

While sources initially insisted that their outings were related to a potential musical collaboration, the speculation only grew after they were seen holding hands again during another evening in Aspen. Witnesses even reported seeing .Paak kiss Carey’s hand during dinner, adding fuel to the rumors.

An insider later told DailyMail.com that Carey and .Paak are simply enjoying each other’s company without putting pressure on their relationship. “Anderson is such a joyful and fun person to be around. He is funny, brilliant, and infects joy in everyone he’s around. Mariah has caught on to his nature and is loving it,” the source shared.

The insider further explained that there is no rush to define their relationship: “They’re taking things in stride. They love hanging out, and if things continue at this pace, the sky’s the limit.”

Additionally, Carey and .Paak are reportedly considering working on music together, though they are not forcing anything and want the process to unfold naturally.

A Difficult Year for Mariah Carey

The rumors about her personal life come after a challenging year for Carey. Over the summer, she suffered a heartbreaking loss when both her mother, Patricia, 87, and sister, Alison, 63, passed away on the same day.

While Carey has not publicly spoken in detail about her grief, it’s likely that these personal tragedies have had a profound impact on her emotional and physical well-being. Performing under such circumstances could explain why fans may have noticed a change in her usual stage presence.

What’s Next for Mariah?

Despite the recent speculation, Carey remains an enduring force in the music industry. Whether she is dealing with exhaustion, personal loss, or simply taking a more measured approach to performing, her loyal fan base continues to support her.

As The Celebration of Mimi residency comes to an end, many are eager to see what’s next for the music legend—whether it’s new music, a collaboration with .Paak, or simply some well-deserved rest.

For now, fans can only hope that Carey is in good health and that any concerns about her recent performance are unfounded. One thing is certain: Mariah Carey remains an icon, and whatever she does next will be met with eager anticipation.
