Sabrina Carpenter is on top of the world right now, having landed number one success with her new album and a sold-out world tour.

The 25-year-old singer even joked about helping get the Mayor of New York, Eric Adams, indicted after her controversial music video last year.

However, as her Short ‘n’ Sweet tour kicked off, fans have one question on their minds – and it’s not whether or not she’s wearing a wig.

Some have wondered if Sabrina is actually lip-syncing her hits instead of singing live, which has proved especially controversial given the price of tickets.

Particularly her performance of popular new track Juno, which includes a different cheeky ‘position’ each night, has been plagued by comments about her vocals.

Clearly, Sabrina has had enough of the speculation as she hit back at one video which declared she was only ‘40% singing’ with the rest covered by a backing track.

The TikTok was responding to one comment by user Blossom which asked: ‘Does she ever sing live?’

‘Hate to say it but 30% lip [syncing], 30% backing track, 40% singing,’ replied video poster Riiano7.

The video of Sabrina letting the audience sing along gained huge traction with over 7.8million views, prompting a reply from the Espresso icon herself.

‘I sing live every show 100% would you like to speak to my audio engineers,’ Sabrina commented on the TikTok.

Shockingly, the original poster had the gall to respond to that saying they would ‘tell them to lower the backtrack voice as its way too high.’

Other fans were quick to call them ’embarrassing’ and ‘a hater’, as Ri, who went to the Madison Square Garden concert, doubled down in the comments.

‘Yall have to realize for the amount of shows and hours they do it does strain their vocal cords,’ replied Chandni. ‘So they prob don’t lip sync but it’s why they don’t sing the whole time either.’

‘This makes me so mad because a lot of fans don’t understand like how incredibly difficult and damaging it would be for singers to do 100% full out with ALL their songs when on tour,’ added Caity Veary.

Sabrina recently opened up about the tour in her interview with Time, stating there had been technical difficulties during the first night.

‘If one thing malfunctions, it can affect the whole show,’ she shared. ‘So I’ve just been learning, rewiring my brain, to be able to handle stuff like that.’

Speaking about the criticism, particularly aimed at her lingerie-clad performances, the Please Please Please hitmaker added: ‘Someone told me this, whenever I would get upset or feel like I’m the only one getting criticized for something other people are able to do seemingly so freely: I’m the one that’s seeing all the negative [stuff] about myself. My friends don’t see that.’

The Short ‘n’ Sweet tour will be heading to the UK with stops in Birmingham, Manchester, London, and Glasgow in March 2025.

Tickets sold out quickly but many fans lamented how expensive they were, with ‘nosebleed’ seats selling for £240 per ticket.

This, along with Oasis and other tours, has prompted huge backlash against seller Ticketmaster over fees and surge pricing.
