‘He was rocking out during it and had people sing the song too by putting the microphone to the crowd,’ they shared. ‘He was in a very good mood – constantly smiling.’
Anderson and Mariah first sparked dating rumors in late December when they were spotted enjoying dinner together in Aspen, Colorado.
In photos obtained by TMZ, the Leave The Door open singer was seen sweetly holding her hand as they entered Catch Steak restaurant on December 22.
At one point, he even gently wrapped his arm her around her waist as they ducked into the eatery and, ever the gentleman, appeared to hold the door open for her.
While the duo’s display may have suggested they were an item, sources insisted to the publication at the time that they were not dating, but instead, were collaborating on a new musical project.
Days later, however, they sparked even more speculation that something romantic is going on between them when they put on another affectionate display in the snowy city.
The duo were seen holding hands once again as they enjoyed another night out in Aspen.
In addition, an onlooker observed Anderson leaning over the table and kissing Mariah’s hand at one point during their dinner.

Afterwards, a source told DailyMail.com exclusively that they are taking their ‘brewing’ relationship in stride and ‘aren’t forcing anything.’
The insider said: ‘Anderson is such a joyful and fun person to be around. He is funny, brilliant and infects joy in everyone he is around, and Mariah has caught on to his nature and is eating it all up.
‘They just have natural fun around each other and their brewing relationship has no obstacles to it because they aren’t forcing anything or getting serious about it.’
‘Everything has been so easy, there are no hidden agendas, they just get each other. If they end up continuing at this pace, the sky is the limit.
‘They are just taking it in stride as they love hanging out with each other.’
According to the source, the possible couple is also interested in collaborating professionally, as they added: ‘They also want to collab with music, but just like their relationship, they aren’t forcing anything, they are letting it all happen naturally, letting life happen.’
