I don't know this artist. But I do know that auto tune is rampant among social media singers. I don't have the software to see if it is being used here.
You don't need software. This is definitely autotuned, but she is a good singer. One thing to listen for is that the pitch is so perfect it almost sounds like a synthesizer. You can't fake the timbre of the voice though, which is why I say she's a good singer.
You can't fix terrible singing and it still sound human. Good but a few pennies off tune when layering? You bet it'll work.
A lot of social media videos are tuned to flat 0 for each note and is the vocal equivalent of magazine covers photoshopped to "perfection"
It's sad but that's the standard of what people are used to hearing these days.
It's a vicious cycle because people who are generally good singers will assume they're terrible since they're not as pitch perfect. Then, they'll either never sing or modify their sound to perfection to compete
I found this video offering more informative and also this article. Kinda neat actually:-).
