The Rockefeller tree lighting event in New York City on November 29, 2023, featured stellar performances by Chloe Bailey, Cher, Kelly Clarkson, and more, marking the start of the holiday season.
Chloe Bailey performed 'Last Christmas' in a Santa-inspired outfit, drawing criticism on social media for its sensual nature, deemed inappropriate for a family-oriented show.
Apart from Kelly Clarkson, viewers criticized performers for alleged lip-syncing, detracting from the event's festive spirit.
Bailey's 'Santa Baby' costume received mixed responses, with some expressing disappointment over its perceived inappropriateness for a family event, contrasting it with the elegance of the Rockettes' performances.
