Attention world: Do not hit Britney Spears with lip-syncing accusations ONE. MORE. TIME. She's so over it.

The iconic singer whose posters decorated lockers in the '90s and fashion statements inspired many glorious Halloween costumes through the years is well aware of all those lip-syncing accusations made about her over the course of her career. And she wants everyone to know they piss her off.

According to Entertainment Weekly, in Spears' recent interview with an Israeli TV show she finally addressed the rumors that followed her for decades.

"I’m glad you’re addressing this question because it’s really funny," Spears told a reporter who asked how much of her Piece of Me concerts are performed live. "A lot of people think that I don’t sing live. I usually, because I’m dancing so much, I do have a little bit of playback, but there’s a mixture of my voice and the playback."

As you can hear in the clip below, Spears went on to slam the rumors and address how hard she's worked over the years. "It really pisses me off because I am busting my ass out there and singing at the same time and nobody ever really gives me credit for it, you know?"

We feel you girl.

To be fair, back at the 2007 MTV VMA's, Spears' performance of "Gimme More" heavily drew lip-syncing criticism, but more recently the singer received some flack on her international summer tour after footage of a Japan performance appeared to show her mouth movements mismatched with her lyrics.

But...How about you try performing Britney's 🔥 tracks AND dancing AND looking flawless non-stop? Doesn't sound so easy.
