Tate McRae is defending herself after accusations that she faked a recent performance on her Little Miss Possessive tour.
The star was accused of lip-syncing after a video of an on-stage microphone mishap at her Austin, Texas show went viral on TikTok.
In the clip, the Sports Car singer, 22, began singing her song 2 Hands into her microphone after wrapping up a dance break but the microphone was upside down.
Watch the video above.
She quickly realised and fixed her mistake but a track of the song’s lyrics played even when she was singing into the wrong end of the microphone.
The awkward moment lead many fans to believe that the singer was lip-syncing, with some questioning whether she always lip syncs during her shows.
Other fans, however, defended the pop star claiming that the track that played may have simply been a backing track intended for harmonies.
But McRae isn’t having any of it and posted a video to her TikTok account in response to the accusations.

The video was a clip of her Austin performance in which she sings her song Purple Lace live on stage.
“Cuz apparently I don’t sing in my shows,” McRae simply captioned the post.
Thousands flocked to the comment section of her new video defending the pop star from the lip syncing accusations.

“Like guys hello are you really hearing her,” one person commented.
“‘She doesn’t sing live’ and it’s a clip of a dance break,” another pointed out.
Others praised her subtle response to the accusations.
“You tell em girl,” one fan wrote.
“The caption, [what do you mean] she has to prove that she actually sings,” wrote another.
The accusations and McRae’s response come amid her Miss Possessive Tour which kicked off in March in Mexico City, Mexico.
She has since performed shows across Europe, North America and South America.
She has shows in Arizona and California scheduled for this week, with her final show set to take place on Saturday 8 November.
