celeb news Viral tweet drags Tate McRae for using a phone to recall lyrics of cover song

[naval23]

Did they spill?

 

 

[Miley Cyrus]

But what if she was asked to cover the #1 song on global Spotify right now..?

Ofc you'll need your phone to look up those lyrics 

[Maroonx]

the video's thumbnail is meme worthy though x

[Wicked]

They're absolutely right but I'm sure the quotes is filled with coddling.

thats ingrid andress 

[ImpressMeMuch]

[bielneira]

A lot of artists do that.

[ChooseyLover]

That's ridiculous. It's not her own song why would she memorize it? It's not like she's even singing it in a big gig or anything either.

It's very common and I've seen lots of artists doing it too, anyway:
 

Iconic.

Another "viral tweet" post clearly looking for easy engagement? Color me shocked 

[CottageHore]

It's giving boomer. Who gives af? There are far greater issues to whine about than a pop star reading the lyrics to a song she's covering on stage  and this is why Twitter is dying, a cesspool

I had never heard her live until now good lord 

[Popboi.]

It's just a sound check 

[Robyn.]

The Tate Mcrae hate is so WEIRD. That's a 20 year old just singing her lil songs and minding her business and she gets hateful tweets for nothing.  

 

I remember seeing a tweet recently praising her as a performer, and the quotes were like "BUT HER VOICE IS AGGRAVATING??!!!11", no one asked. It's just being obnoxious at this point.

[tiagol88]

Omg she's confirming a song's lyrics during a soundcheck and rehearsals. Arrest her

[Goofy]

she performs a new cover at each of her soundchecks, who would memorize a new song each day?

[The Next Day]

I don't care about her as an artist, but that tweet is playing dumb. It's a soundcheck. Surprise, people need to rehearse. She's learning the song.

[Mr. Blue_Shirt]

Live singers in our local café has been doing this for years now

 

These people complain too much dd

[Illuminati]

It's a one-off performance she's not planning to turn this into her Girls Just Wanna Have Fun

If this is soundcheck then it isn't big deal and it's no one's business what she is doing. But if it was part of the show and pre planned then learning lyrics is bare minimum 

[tost1]

And still you can barely understand what she's saying 

[LoveInStereo]

Beyond the obvious question of why does anybody seriously care, Billie's diction has always been bad but on this new album, she's totally incomprehensible. Only chance of getting the words right is looking them up

I mean, it was a soundcheck. It wasn't like she whipped out her phone at an actual concert and did that while attempting to formally perform it.
