She attracted criticism for lip syncing, a practice which is common during the parade, after there was an issue with the sound on her float, so it appeared that she was singing out of time with the song.[46] She was praised for her recovery by fellow performers after the parade.[47] Ora performed "Let You Love Me" at the 2018 ARIA Awards on 28 November.[48] She later performed the song on Michael McIntyre's Big Show on 1 December,[49] and at Victoria's Secret Fashion Show on 2 December.[50] She also performed the song with a live band on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, on 5 December.[51]
