Charlie Puth performed the U.S. national anthem before Super Bowl LX and delivered a passionate rendition—but not everyone was convinced it was live.
The 34-year-old singer took the stage at Levi’s Stadium ahead of the game between the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots. While many praised his performance, some viewers accused him of lip-syncing.
Social media quickly filled with doubts. One user wrote, “It seemed too perfect—no notes were off.” Others were more critical, calling the performance “obvious lip-syncing” and saying it was “embarrassing.”
With ongoing debates already surrounding the Super Bowl’s musical acts, Puth’s performance became the latest source of controversy.
Whether he truly sang live or not remains unconfirmed, but the accusations were enough to spark widespread online discussion.
