Ballinger, better known as Miranda Sings, performed Beyoncé’s “Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)” several years ago, but that’s not the controversial part. The problem, in a nutshell, is she did it in what appears to be blackface. While it is unclear when the video was taken, it’s possibly from a show in London’s West End around the summer of 2010. Ballinger posted it to her YouTube channel in February 2018. It is currently unlisted, but still…
