The diva was accused of miming the National Anthem at President Obama’s inauguration ceremony, when a spokesman for the Marine Corps Band said she opted for a pre-recorded track of the song instead of singing live.
But hours later, a Marine spokesman backed off the claim and insisted he didn’t know one way or the other: ‘No one in the Marine Band is in a position to assess whether it was live or pre-recorded’.

‘I am a perfectionist,’ she explained. ‘I practice until my feet bleed and I did not have time to rehearse with the orchestra. Due to no proper sound check, I did not feel comfortable taking a risk.
‘It was about the president and the inauguration, and I wanted to make him and my country proud, so I decided to sing along with my pre-recorded track, which is very common in the music industry. And I’m very proud of my performance.”
She had insisted she would be singing live at the Super Bowl. ‘I will absolutely be singing live,’ she said. ‘I am well-rehearsed. This is what I was born to do.’
