Mariah Carey is close to announcing an upcoming Las Vegas residency, which would land the singer on the growing list of performers who have secured residency deals.
Carey has either already signed or will soon sign a deal with a yet-to-be announced Vegas hotel. She will follow in the footsteps of Britney Spears, Celine Dion and Shania Twain.
The news comes on the heels of rumors Jennifer Lopez was close to signing a deal of her own.
E! Online notes this comes at a good time for Carey, who’s been going through a divorce from her estranged husband Nick Cannon. She can also have some sense of normalcy for their twins; Moroccan and Monroe, if she’s eliminated traveling from her schedule.
Spears reportedly signed a $30 million deal for her residency at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino, so time will tell of Carey’s deal is more lucrative.
Some of Carey’s biggest hits include “Hero”,”Fantasy” and “Always Be My Baby.”
