Lorde was accused of lip-synching when she performed on Saturday Night Live this weekend, but she insisted that she wasn’t and never would do that on stage.
The “Royals” singer performed “Magnets” with EDM duo Disclosure. It does sound like there was some doctoring to her voice, which may have tricked audiences into thinking that her vocals were not live.
In response, Lorde wrote on Twitter, “wow - the fact that some people thought i was lip syncing on snl is an awesome compliment!” She added that she never has performed with previously-recorded vocals and never will.
The New Zealand singer, 19, also thanked her fans and sounded very excited to have performed on the NBC show.
Disclosure also performed “Omen” with Sam Smith on SNL. The duo is out promoting their second album, Caracal, which also includes collaborations with The Weeknd and Miguel.
