After the backlash, Tate reacted to the lip-syncing claims with new TikTok post and wrote, "Cuz apparently I don’t sing in my shows :)"

The video posted by the singer shows her belting high notes live, effectively shutting down all the rumours of lip-syncing.

However, this is not the first time she has faced such allegations. Just a few months ago, in March 2025, she reacted to earlier viral videos, saying, "Like, f**k me! I'm singing this whole show! You need to watch the whole show, you don't know the whole picture."
