Sabrina Carpenter does not let haters get to her.

In late September, the "Espresso" singer began her "Short n’ Sweet Tour," but soon faced accusations of lip-syncing.

A TikTok user shared a video of Carpenter's recent performance and stated, "Unfortunately, 30% of the performance was lip-synced, 30% utilized a backing track, and 40% was actual singing."

The carpenter replied in the comments, "I always sing live at every show 100%. Would you like to connect with my audio engineers?"

"The next show, Carpenter will perform live without a backing track, and I'm crying with joy because she's so petty," wrote the X user in the caption after sharing a video of Carpenter singing without the backing track.

Planet Chronicle Digital did not receive an immediate response from Carpenter's representatives.

"To go through your life trying to be a little robot angel, you’re going to have a lot of regrets later."  — Sabrina Carpenter

Over the past summer, the 25-year-old actress and singer has experienced a significant rise in popularity after years of dedication to her craft.

At 13, she made her breakthrough on the Disney Channel series "Girl Meets World," which was a spin-off of "Boy Meets World."

She had previously signed a contract with Disney's Hollywood Records a year prior, stating in a Time magazine interview for their Time 100 List that she believed she wouldn't have been able to succeed as a recording artist if she hadn't worked on a show as a child actor.

Despite her efforts, the carpenter struggled to break through with her acting and singing career, releasing four albums with her first label.

"I was frequently led astray, but I'm grateful for those experiences because they have made me more confident in trusting my instincts," she said to Time.

In August, she revealed to The Guardian that there is more to music than just blood, sweat, tears, love, talent, and passion. There are also beautiful and dark, weird aspects to it.

The singer, who is known for his "Nonsense" style, stated, "I am passionate about performing and there is a certain drive to continue, regardless of success. I have been labeled a failure multiple times, yet here we are, so …"

In 2022, Carpenter released her fifth album, "Emails I Can’t Send," with a new label and began to establish herself as a radio sensation, leaving her Disney past behind.

"She told The Guardian that she felt restricted at her previous label, but she had to struggle a bit to break free. Despite the challenges, she was grateful for her old label's support in allowing her to move on."

"As a child, my dream was to perform on stage and bring joy to others. However, with the rise of the internet, I've come to understand that even a small misstep can lead to being labeled as a terrible person. It's a delicate balance between being true to oneself and protecting oneself from the harsh criticism that can come with being in the public eye."

She later revealed to Time that while working on her new album and sound, she aimed to remain youthful and not become a "little robot angel" who regrets her actions later in life.

She revealed to Rolling Stone that she was nearly pressured into mature content while still being a teenager.

As a young person, I felt pressure to write about mature subjects because those around me considered it cool and what worked. However, I didn't do it until it felt authentic to me.

She confessed to The Guardian that she felt people may have dismissed her as a Disney kid after the release of her second adult album.

Her onstage style is known for being sexy, featuring sparkly showgirl and lingerie-inspired outfits, big blonde curls, and her petite height (only five feet tall).

"I have always embraced femininity, and if it currently means wearing corsets, garter belts, and fuzzy robes, then that's what it means," she said to Time.

Criticism of her sexier pinup style has been dismissed by Carpenter, just like the lip-syncing controversy.

"Although you may encounter mothers with strong opinions on your clothing choices, it's important to remember that it's okay to dress as you feel comfortable. As she told Time, "It's unfortunate that it's ever been something to criticize. The scariest thing in the world is getting up on a stage in front of that many people and having to perform as if it's nothing. If the one thing that helps you do that is the way you feel comfortable dressing, then that's what you've got to do.""

She revealed that her mom, dad, and 94-year-old grandfather were present at her opening night show in Columbus, Ohio, for a tour that showcased her in skimpy outfits and sexy dance moves.

"Carpenter remarked, "My fans online are like, 'I can't believe she's bending over in front of her grandparents!' I'm like, 'Girl, they're not paying attention to that. They're just like, 'I can't believe all these people are here.'""

She expressed gratitude to Rolling Stone for the opportunity to share her thoughts, stating that she feels fortunate that the situation has evolved over time, allowing her to gradually understand and process it.

She remarked, "It's almost like I can just relax and be excited about it."
