Sabrina’s body language on stage is also indicative of lip-syncing, according to Dr. Glass.
“Sabrina’s beat is off and her body movements are choppy as she brings the microphone to her mouth,” he added.
Dr Glass suggested the singer needs to train harder like ‘seasoned pro’ Taylor Swift, who she joined on several stops on the Eras Tour as an opening act.
“She could be less obvious in her lip-syncing if she had more experience and training,” Dr. Glass said. ‘Sabrina has not developed breath control like Taylor, who is a seasoned professional who works in singing and dancing.
‘Sabrina needs to be in top shape and trained like a professional athlete. And she’s not, you can tell by how quickly she runs out of breath on stage.’
