The 47-year-old singer and reality star drew criticism from fans after her set over the weekend, where she performed Let Me Know in a black mesh bodysuit paired with Chanel accessories.
Despite her stylish outfit and energetic dance moves, social media users were quick to critique her vocals after a fan-made video of the performance circulated.
On Twitter, reactions varied. One tweet highlighted a perceived irony in the situation, referencing Tamar Braxton’s past criticism of fellow singer Kandi Burruss:
“Not the universe swinging back at Tamar Braxton for calling Kandi Burruss ‘Billy Goat Voice’ last year and now she went to a festival with vocals winded and fried to the mic.”
In contrast, another user defended Tamar Braxton’s talent, stating:
“Tamar Braxton is a vocalist through and through. All singers have bad days but let’s not get it twisted, the girl is TALENTED.”
A third comment shifted the focus from Braxton, humorously suggesting that her fiancé, Jeremy “JR” Robinson, was responsible for her performance:

Despite the criticism, Tamar received the Ultimate Icon Award at the event and took to Instagram to express how she feels blessed and is moving forward, posting:
We all know Tamar is talented, and singers have good days and bad days. However I wish Tamar would focus on her talents as a singer and less on the reality TV antics.
