A question for anyone who's been or knows - do they play the pre-recorded guest performance out for those in the studio to watch?”
Acts normally perform live on the show. When we went, Rebecca Ferguson performed live, and then Taylor Swift was pre-recorded. Dermot introduced her live, and then when she came on it switched to a pre-record, which was played in the studio on the screens while the judges were in their dressing rooms and the audience just look annoyed since they queued up for hours to get in, and she doesn't even turn up.
As far as I know, only Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran have been pre-recorded this series.
