Mariah Carey could vibe to some Silk Sonic tunes… because she was in Aspen with half of the band – and she and Anderson .Paak definitely kept the dating rumors alive.
The Christmas queen dined with the singer-songwriter and other close friends at the popular celebrity vacation spot in Colorado on Sunday – wearing an elegant black dress and a beautiful piece of jewelry around her neck.

.Paak kept himself elegant in a long gray coat and fashionable hat and smiled winningly as he exited the restaurant – with his hand in hers!
Sources tell TMZ … the two dined together at a Mediterranean restaurant for a few hours, and at one point Anderson kissed her hand at the table. They were very sensitive, her arm resting on his chest.
Check it out… the two are clearly holding hands as they leave the restaurant — and AP helps Mariah into her car, a move that some fans are sure to interpret as a romantic gesture.
What's worth noting is that this isn't the first time Mariah and Anderson have been pictured together…they previously dined at Catch Steak and looked flirty as they exited the restaurant.
However, sources with direct knowledge told TMZ that the two aren't actually an item — our sources said they just looked cute together. We're also told they're collaborating on new music and are even in the studio in Aspen over the holidays.
Mariah isn't afraid to do a little hand-holding with her friends while she's out on the town, by the way…remember, just last week we showed you pictures of Mariah in Aspen holding someone else's hand – So it's not completely unusual.
Of course, it gets cold in Aspen…and you never know who you might need to snuggle up with for warmth.
After all, we know that .Paak always leaves the door open!
