Ariana Madix reportedly performed a “very clean lip sync” performance during the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade.
The 39-year-old star confidently boarded the Peacock float to sing the Cardigans’ hit version of “Lovefool”.
Madix exuded elegance at the event when wearing a gorgeous white outfit.
However, fans were not satisfied with Madix’s performance because she did not sing live.

Um yes #Macysparade2024 So desperate for people that you’re willing to scrape the bottom of the barrel to get Ariana Madix to lip-sync a ’90s song?
I mean the only reason I know who she is is because her ex-boyfriend cheated on her with her best friend.

Ariana Madix from Vanderpump Rules must have the best management team in Hollywood. From a supporting role on a B-list reality TV show to being on Dancing With The Stars and lip-syncing at the Macy’s Day Parade in about a decade is fascinating

Every year, the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade attracts huge crowds with its giant balloons, electric atmosphere, and captivating performances – although not all of it is spontaneous like how they look.
Performers brave the elements, facing freezing temperatures, rain or even snow, showcasing their talents from floating platforms.
To ensure a seamless performance, many performers choose to lip-sync to pre-recorded tracks.
In 2018, a technical issue revealed to fans that not all performances were live, surprising the audience.
Macy said in a statement at the time, “During today’s broadcast of NBC’s #MacysParade, several recording artists experienced technical difficulties that negatively impacted their performances. We I apologize and want fans to know these issues are beyond the artist’s control.”
Following this revelation, divisions emerged among the artists, with some choosing to lip-sync and others boldly asserting the dynamic nature of their vocals.
According to 2018 Macy’s Parade performer Rita Ora, “We all had to lip sync in this parade because the floats were not capable of meeting the audio requirements for a live performance .”
She continued, “Anyway, hope everyone enjoys it. Please know that if you come to my show, the vocals will be 100% live!”
