If you’re watching the 2023 Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade right now, you might notice that the singers don’t appear to be performing live.
Yes, they are all lip syncing and that’s perfectly normal for this event. It happens every year and there’s a good reason why all performers are expected to lip sync.
Keep reading to find out more…
Nearly all performers in the parade have been lip syncing instead of singing live for years for multiple reasons, the biggest one being that floats are moving throughout the parade and having singers perform live would be a logistical nightmare.
Another reason is the cold weather that performers frequently have to face during the parade. It estimated to be in the low 50s in New York City this year, while some years the weather is much colder than that. The morning hours will likely be in the low 40s.
John Legend previously revealed, “Fun fact. We all have to lip sync on this parade because the floats don’t have the capacity to handle the sound requirements for a live performance… Know that if you come to my shows, the vocals are 100% live!”
A few years ago, a Grammy-winning singer broke tradition and actually sang LIVE for a change!
Make sure to check out the list of performers for the 2023 parade.

Daryl Hall and John Oates always wanted to be looked at as individuals for their talent — so their band name, Hall & Oates, never did them any favors.Three years before Hall, 77, filed a lawsuit against his longtime music collaborator, Oates revealed why they never decided to flip the moniker to “Oates & Hall.”“He’s taller and older than me, so there you go!” Oates, 75, told The Post ahead of their sold-out Madison Square Garden show in New York City in February 2020.Years earlier, Hall would give his own take on their decision while speaking with the San Jose Mercury News.“The reason we’ve always insisted on our full names is because we consider ourselves to be two individual artists.
