Mariah Carey's fans are a little concerned. The beloved singer and Christmas icon was recently featured in a video that went viral on social media. The clip was recorded by an audience member at a recent concert in Las Vegas.

In it, Carey is singing one of her most famous songs as she is interacting with one of her dancers. She's captured wearing a bright pink outfit made out of a bodysuit and a sheer cloak, rounded out with high heels. 

As she sings, one of her dancers moves and dances around her, with Carey slowly trailing behind. The post quickly gathered a lot of comments from her fans, wondering if she was feeling okay. 

“Omg is she ok?” wrote someone. “What’s going on here?! Is this a real performance or the dress rehearsal?” wrote a second person.

While many appear to genuinely be worried over her health, a lot of fans had some funny responses, claiming that Mariah puts her effort in her singing and not her dancing, or that her real work occurs at a different point of the year. 

One wrote that she “saves her energy for Christmas," while another suggested she take up different shoe wear. “Maybe it’s time for her to start wearing flats,” they wrote. You can check out the full video below.

More details about Carey's Las Vegas residency

Last year, Carey announced she'd be embarking on a Las Vegas residency to celebrate the 19th birthday of her iconic record "The Emancipation of Mimi." While the show has a special focus on that album, which features hits like "We Belong Together," "Shake It Off," and "Mine Again" and took three Grammys, it's also meant to be a celebration of her career.

"It's a really good time. We're doing The Celebration of Mimi and you know all about the Emancipation of Mimi and that album and there's also other songs we do," said Carey to Entertainment Tonight. "But this is really about, you know, The Celebration of Mimi."

The concert is Carey's fifth residency in Vegas.
