Jay-Z 和 Alicia Keys 在托尼奖颁奖典礼上的表演《帝国之心》是预先录制的，而非现场表演。 Jay-Z and Alicia Keys' "Empire State of Mind" Tony Awards performance was pre-recorded, not live.

据一位不愿透露姓名的节目官员透露，Jay-Z 和艾丽西亚凯斯在托尼奖颁奖典礼上现场演唱的《帝国之心》实际上是预先录制的。 Jay-Z and Alicia Keys' live-seeming duet performance of "Empire State of Mind" at the Tony Awards was actually pre-recorded, according to an unnamed show official. 这次表演看似是一次令人惊喜的现场合作，但后来被发现其实是在早些时候录制的，这引发了人们对该活动真实性以及将表演标记为“现场”的标准产生质疑。 The moment appeared to be a surprise live collaboration, but it was later revealed to have been taped earlier, raising questions about the event's authenticity and the criteria for labeling a performance as "live."
