Mariah Carey’s late-night lifestyle is ringing warning bells for those close to the 55-year-old superstar. Sources tell GLOBE the “Emotions” singer’s all-night partying, sky-high heels, and skimpy outfits are taking a toll on her health and stage presence. Fans recently noticed her “painfully slow” movements during a Las Vegas concert, sparking concern about the diva’s well-being.
Carey, sporting a strapless pink bodysuit and towering platform heels, struggled to move comfortably on stage, according to a source. One fan quipped online that she moved like she was 105 years old. Insiders say her stilettos—combined with boozy nights, fast-food binges, and little sleep—are pushing her body to the brink as she tries to keep pace with younger stars.
Partying Like It’s New Year’s Eve
The Queen of Christmas lives nocturnally, sleeping all day and staying up late. A tipster reveals Carey often sends her assistant for burgers, fries, and shakes at 2 a.m. She celebrates with champagne for even minor occasions, a habit one source calls a regular occurrence. This lifestyle, insiders warn, isn’t sustainable for the newly minted Rock & Roll Hall of Fame nominee.
Carey’s challenges pile up. She’s faced broken romances, the deaths of her mother and sister, and a bipolar II diagnosis. Her ex-husband Nick Cannon, 44, father to their 13-year-old twins Moroccan and Monroe, remains a stressor nine years post-divorce. A source grumbles that Cannon’s antics—like fathering 12 kids with six women—add to her woes.
Her latest romance with 39-year-old rapper Anderson Paak isn’t helping either. Labeled “bad news” by some in her circle, Paak has reportedly enjoyed lavish gifts from Carey, who’s also juggling $18 million in mortgage debt on her Manhattan penthouse. The insider warns that her spendthrift ways and nonstop partying signal trouble.
Health Risks Catch-Up
At 55, Carey’s years of loose living are showing, the source says. Her circle fears she’s neglecting herself while chasing a youthful image. Those sky-high heels don’t just hinder her performances—they risk injury. Pair that with irregular sleep and junk food, and the insider predicts serious consequences if she doesn’t slow down.
Still, hope lingers. People around her pray she finds the strength to pivot. The source insists it’s not too late for Carey to turn things around, urging her to prioritize health over the party scene. Fans, too, hold their breath, wishing the iconic songbird can reclaim her sparkle without risking it all.
Carey’s merry life might dazzle, but the risks loom large. Will the diva heed the warnings, or keep dancing on the edge? For now, her inner circle watches—and worries.
