Undoubtedly, Britney Spears is one of the most successful pop singers in modern music history. Since the 1990s, Spears has been electrifying audiences around the world with her provocative pop hits, and she was one of the music industry's biggest sex-symbols. Her records have sold tens of millions of copies, and she has some of the most famous pop hits in recent memory, including "Toxic," "Lucky," and "...Baby One More Time."
However, for as much success as she has had on stage, she has also been dogged by rumors of lip-syncing throughout much of her career. In recent years, some of the allegations have gotten louder. Fan-shot videos from Instagram have appeared to show times when she misses her cue and the vocals start without her, and her 2018 performance on "Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve" was widely criticized for her alleged miming.
Sometimes, where there's smoke there's fire, and it turns out that might just be the case with Spears. During a 2013 interview with Billboard, her manager Larry Rudolph confirmed that she uses a backing track during her performances, which he chalked up to her extensive physical routine. Spears also seemed to admit as much in a 2017 interview in Israel, saying that while she sings live, she also has a backing track to help her out (via Rolling Stone). Still, Spears continues to perform to huge crowds, so it seems her fans aren't too concerned about her singing.
