Sabrina Carpenter Shuts Down Lip-Syncing Rumors Amid Her Short n’ Sweet Tour

Sabrina Carpenter is tired of the nonsense.
The "Taste" hitmaker clapped back at critics on social media who accused her of lip-syncing at her Short n' Sweet Tour live shows.
After someone commented on TikTok asking if she "ever" sings live at her concerts, another user posted a clip taken from one of Sabrina's recent performances and claimed that it showed her lip-syncing.
"Hate to say it," the person wrote, "but 30% lip singing [sic] 30% backing track [and] 40% singing."
In the comments of the post, the 25-year-old shot down the claims that she hasn't been singing during her sold-out tour—and even offered to connect her detractors to members of her crew to prove it.
"I sing live at every show 100%," Sabrina declared Oct. 1. "Would you like to speak to my audio engineers?"
The original poster responded to the "Espresso" singer's comment saying that they would indeed like to meet with them and revealed what they would tell her audio engineers if given the chance.
"I would," they wrote back to Sabrina, "and tell them to lower the backtrack voice as its [sic] way too high."
This isn't the first time that the Disney Channel alum has made headlines out of her tour, which kicked off Sept. 23 in Columbus, Ohio.
During her Sept. 29 show at Madison Square Garden in New York City, the singer joked about speculation that her "Feather" music video scandal may have contributed to the city's mayor, Eric Adams, being indicted.
While talking to the crowd between songs, Sabrina asked, "Should we talk about how I got the mayor indicted or…?”
The comment, which was met by cheers from the sold-out audience, alluded to the controversy caused by her 2023 music video in which she writhed around a church in Brooklyn. After the video's release, the church's priest—who had approved the video shoot in advance—was demoted and stripped of duties.
The scandal reportedly led to a "broader administrative review," the diocese told the New York Post, which may have led to investigators uncovering a connection between the demoted priest and Mayor Adams' former chief of staff.
Sabrina's latest comment about the whole ordeal reflect how unbothered she's seemingly been ever since she got people talking with the music video.
“We got approval in advance,” she told Variety of the project. “And Jesus was a carpenter.”
