Popn star Mariah Carey will be the subject of a new eight-part E! reality series, the network has announced.

"Mariah's World" will give an up-close-and-personal look at Carey's life both on and off stage. It will follow the singer as she begins her Sweet Sweet Fantasy tour and plans her wedding to billionaire James Packer, reported Variety.

"I'm excited to bring my fans into my life for the next journey I'm about to embark on. I'm already having so much fun with this documentary and I know you will too. There is nothing like capturing these moments," Carey, 45, said.
 

Along will tracking Carey on her upcoming tour across the United States, Europe and Africa, the series will also give fans a glimpse into her personal life, showing how she manages to juggle her career alongside raising twins.

"I thought it would be a good opportunity to kind of, like, show my personality and who I am, even though I feel like my real fans have an idea of who I am. A lot of people have mis-perceptions about this and that," Carey said.

But Carey's children won't feature heavily in the series.

"I don't want to do anything that's exploitative. They haven't been filmed at all yet. There might be a couple of moments, but it's not about making them the stars of the show. They are too young to make that decision."

The show is being produced by Bunim/Murray and began filming two weeks ago when she wrapped up her Las Vegas concert series.
