For more than a week, Beyoncé has been the center of speculation and criticism for her alleged lip-syncing of the National Anthem at President Barack Obama’s second Inauguration.

Since the Inauguration, she has remained silent on the subject. Until today.

During the Pepsi Super Bowl XLVII Halftime Show press conference held today, January 31, Beyoncé seems to have answered her critics.

She stepped up to the podium, asked the aduience in attendance, “would you guys mind standing?” Then she began to sing the ‘Star Spangled Banner’.

Later in the press conference, she promised she would be singing live during her Superbowl Halftime performance, saying, “I will absolutely be singing live. I am well rehearsed and I will absolutely be singing live. This is what I was born to do.”
