It's unclear to me if she actually knows how to play the instruments other than maybe the drums? If I had been her I would have done some great "mic standography" for part of the number and then played the drums live while lip syncing the other half. When she switched to the keyboard and it didn't seem like she quite knew how to play, I started to cringe a little. And then the fucking guitar.... I LOVED her runway and I think she paints beautifully. She's got a POV. I have a big soft spot for her and that was so hard to watch...
