Make Page Six a Preferred Source Mariah Carey sparked fan concern after videos emerged of the singer “struggling to walk.”
In one of the viral clips circulating on social media, the 57-year-old clutched onto a female assistant’s arm as she made her way to greet fans in Brazil.
For the recent outing, the musician wore a gold minidress and heeled knee-high boots.
Despite appearing in high spirits while talking to fans, many social media users voiced their concern about the pop icon’s physical health.
“Why does she always need her hand held?!” one fan questioned on Instagram. “Should we be worried?” another asked in the comments section.
“She looks like she’s in pain,” a third user wrote.
Another recent video of Carey also raised concerns among fans. In the clip shared on X, the Grammy winner once again appeared to struggle to walk while greeting supporters.
She clutched on to the same assistant as she slowly made her way over to the crowd.
“Is it too slippery to walk in heels or is something else,” one social media user questioned.
Another person theorized, “Looks like she may have hurt her back.”
However, other fans shot down speculation of a health issue, noting that Carey’s heeled shoes just looked uncomfortable.
“She’s walking on some kind of tile or cut stone which is probably uneven or slippery. & Mariah is wearing spike heeled boots. Trust me – not a good combo,” one argued.
Another fan insisted, “She’s walking downhill in those heels in the rain. She is trying not to fall.”
Page Six has reached out to Carey’s rep for comment.
The mom of two previously sparked fan concern with a “stiff” video from one of her Celebration of Mimi residency shows at Park MGM in Las Vegas in February 2025.
