Why Rihanna lip syncing Super Bowl 2023 performance is not a problem

Rihanna has been accused of lip syncing at the Super Bowl Halftime show however even if that is the case, it might not be a problem to begin with.

Despite delivering an electric show at the fully packed State Farm Stadium in Arizona, eagle eyed social media users believe that the Barbadian singer was not singing live at the show.

After marking her first performance in 2016, Rihanna displayed that she still has what it takes as she breezed past some of her greatest hits like Diamonds, Umbrella and more in just 13 minutes.

If that was not enough, she carried out the performance while suspended in the air with a pregnant belly.

However, many have accused her of committing the "worst ever" infraction possible as some noted how Rihanna’s lips were not moving according to the song.

"Amazing how Rihanna is able to keep singing even when she puts the mic aside and doesn’t move her lips at all," one viewer said. 

"Too bad Rihanna is lip-syncing," another said while sharing footage of her cover of Kanye West’s All of the Lights, where she seemingly is not singing along to the song. 

"You know I love you but that’s the worst lips sinc [sic] ever. OMG," tweeted another. 

One fan fumed, "Rihanna not even having the mic near her mouth while the lyrics are playing. Why bother doing the halftime show if you’re not even gonna try and lip sync, bizarre."

However many are not aware that RiRi was simply following NFL’s policy of prerecording rehearsals so that the singers are free to sing as much or as little as they want considering the taxing chorography and theatrics that are usually displayed on the shows.
