Rita Ora likely has a lot to be thankful for this year, but sheâll probably want to forget this lip-syncing gaffe.
The 27-year-old singer sang her new song âLet You Love Meâ at the Macyâs Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York on Thursday, but unfortunately missed her cue to sing and never quite recovered.
It appeared that Ora couldnât hear the track in her earpiece or figure out where she was in the song. It looked like more of a technical fail with the feed rather than the singer not knowing the words.
Singer John Legend also came to Oraâs defense, saying, âWe all have to lip-sync on this parade because the floats donât have the capacity to handle the sound requirements for a live performance.â
And Ora immediately tweeted after the gaffe, replying to Legendâs tweet with a comment and explanation of her own.
âFun fact @johnlegend thank you for clarifying what I was about to also tweet. Itâs annoying for us but anyway!â she said.
She added, âAll 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.â
You get yours girl!
