Rita Ora has been absolutely dragged by fans after her performance at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, after it was revealed that she was lip syncing.
Performing her hit “Let You Love Me,” she seemed to have missed her cue by less than a minute, but it didn’t go unnoticed.
“Was Rita Ora lip syncing a completely different song in the #macysthanksgivingdayparade just now?” one fan wrote.
“Oh no, that Rita Ora lip sync was tragic,” said another.
“Why are people surprised @RitaOra lip-synced during the #MacysDayParade they all do it. Did everyone miss @johnlegend doing the same thing?” @RichEdenGOE tweeted.
However, this tweet is exactly right.
John Legend later tweeted to his fans, clarifying that each performer HAD to lip sync.
“Fun fact: We all have to lip sync on this parade because the floats don’t have the capacity to handle the sound requirements for a live performance. Hope y’all enjoyed it anyway. Know that if you come to my shows, the vocals are 100% live!”
Rita thanked John by tweeting her own clarification.
“Fun fact @johnlegend thank you for clarifying what I was about to also tweet,” she wrote. “It’s annoying for us but anyway! All my shows are 100 percent live always have been! When you come to a ORA show get ready! Back to holidays! Have a good one guys! 🙂 X”
