Days prior to her performance, Beyonce shared photos of her “practicing” the song with the Marine Corp Band, however according to?TheTimes, Queen B made a last minute decision to lip sync the song to a pre-recorded track.

A spokeswoman for the Marine Corp Band Kristen DuBois said it was standard procedure to record a backing track and Beyonc? decided shortly before her performance to rely on the studio version rather than risk singing it live on the Capitol.

Dammit B!! I’m so disappointed….? *kicks rocks*
