A live performance misfire led to an awkward few minutes on NBC’s broadcast of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. The War and Treaty were set to perform while riding the Balsam Hills’ “Deck the Halls” float. However, their music didn’t start, leaving the country music duo awkwardly standing around. This mishap happened as NBC was already facing criticism for having performers lip-sync most of their performances yet again.
NBC then kicked over to the hosting panel, which consisted of Al Roker, Savannah Guthrie and Hoda Kotb. Kotb acknowledged that there were technical difficulties, saying, “Every now and then there’s a little hiccup.”
