Kelsea Ballerini Jokingly Claps Back At Critics Accusing Her Of Lip-Synching During PCCA Performance

Kelsea Ballerini is clapping back at some critics. The 30-year-old singer took to her Instagram story with a video shutting down accusations that she lip-synched during her live performance at the 2023 People's Choice Country Awards on Sept. 28. "I just want to say, if I was lip-synching, I would've sounded a lot better. One of the cameras was off. Thank you, and good night," she joked. Kelsea's post came after some fans on social media questioned why there was a delay during her performance, which made it seem like the sound didn't match her singing. The "Mountain With A View" songstress continued poking fun at herself and her critics by turning her PCCAs glam post into a meme that addressed the situation. "Me singing live watching people thinking otherwise," she wrote on her Instagram story. Ahead of singing at the award show, Kelsea brought style to the red carpet with a turtleneck long-sleeved sparkly black mini dress.
