The only issue was, she took the stage the very next day to perform in the NBA All-Star game, and the pipes sounded just fine!

At the time, the "Disturbia" singer’s rep said that the crooner was on the upswing from a bronchial infection, and getting on a plane to attend the Trump show could have put her vocal chords at serious risk.
