Carey wanted Las Vegas to know there's a new girl in town. The pop icon arrived to cheering screams at Caesars Palace Monday, April 27, 2015, in a classic 1936 pink convertible trailing behind 18 mobile billboards bearing the titles of her number one hits including "Always be my baby" from 1996 and "Heartbreaker" from 1999.

Mariah Carey is looking for love on Match.com.
The pop diva joined the dating website early Tuesday – but it wasn’t just to look for her next date. It was to promote the music video of her latest single “Infinity,” which debuted on Match and VEVO.
“I hope every woman who is single and listens to this song goes out and finds her infinity, whether on Match or the traditional way,” Carey, 45 said in a statement.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}According to online profile, the singer describes herself as divorced with two children – 4-year-old twins Monore and Moroccan with ex Nick Cannon – and enjoys, cooking, attending music concerts, swimming and yoga.
She posted four photos, including one of her singing and another of her taking a selfie.
Carey also describes herself as a “curvy” mom from Manhattan who asks potential suitors to describe themselves in “their own words.”

Other musicians have used dating sites to launch music, including DJ-producer Zedd, who used Tinder last month to help promote his album, "True Colors."
