At a live question-and-answer session preceding her Super Bowl performance, Beyonce answered the media’s questions pertaining to allegations of lip-syncing during the inaugural celebrations last week. The singer admitted to singing along to a prerecorded vocal track during her performance of the National Anthem, citing her perfectionist nature as the reason. Lack of practice time and high pressure led Beyonce to determine that that would be the best decision for the day. Controversies swirled in the days following the incident.
The Super Bowl news conference on Thursday, however, opened with Beyonce singing a live version of the anthem and openly discussing her prerecorded performance. She did not answer questions of whether Destiny’s Child would be reuniting, but assured fans and the media that she would be performing live at the Super Bowl on Sunday.
