Sabrina Carpenter Defends Live Performance Amid TikTok Claims

Sabrina Carpenter has been actively refuting claims that she lip-syncs during her concerts, asserting that she sings live 100% of the time. This controversy emerged after a TikTok user falsely claimed that her performances consist of only 40% live singing, with the rest attributed to lip-syncing and backing tracks. Carpenter, currently on her Short n' Sweet tour, responded to these allegations by inviting critics to consult her audio engineers to verify her live performances. Fans have largely supported her, recounting their experiences of her live singing at concerts. Despite the criticism, Carpenter's career continues to soar, with her album Short n' Sweet topping the charts and her recognition on the TIME100 Next list as a rising star in the industry. Carpenter's success and dedication to live performances mirror similar defenses by other artists, such as Taylor Swift, against claims of non-live singing.
