Sorry dahhlings, Mariah Carey couldn't play Las Vegas Wednesday night.

Just a week after kicking off her residence at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace, the singer had to cancel her mid-week #1 to Infinity show due to bronchitis.

Mariah shared the news on Instagram, writing: "Hey guys..I've been fighting bronchitis for the past few days.. almost better but on mandatory vocal rest per doctor's orders. I'm so sorry to cancel tonight's show but I promise to make it up to you!!! Love you always, MC."

Hopefully the "Infinity" singer is able to rest up, feel better and return the stage again soon. When she spoke to E! News last month, she was really looking forward to kicking off her Vegas residency. She was excited to be in Sin City, telling E! News, "It's an extravaganza!"

Dem Babies, aka 4-year-old twins Moroccan and Monroe, are of course "the most important thing to me," said Mariah. As mom explained, the kids are always with either her or her ex Nick Cannon, but that still leaves a little time for Mariah to paint the town red glittery pink!

So will she be hunting for a new fella in Vegas? "Dahhling, who knows if I already have or have not?" she teased. "Anything and everything is possible."

She's already fallen in platonic love with a porpoise—yep, you read that right.  "I made friends with this dolphin called Osborne...and he loved me," she gushed to E! News. "This dolphin is my new best friend! Thank God he exists!"

Perhaps M.C. and Osborne can sneak in some quality time together while she's on vocal rest—theirs is an unspoken love!
