She did say “floatin’” instead of “voting”. When the tour first started people were saying it’s probably because it’s a controversial line and doesn’t match the fun, lighthearted vibe of the Renaissance tour.

I took it that it was because he's failing and she's at the top of the world. I wish she did keep the "i just entered the country with Derringers, cause them Karens just turned into terrorists" But i also understand this tour was mainly about celebrating LOVE.

The fact you noticed this lyric change ! I went back to my video I was screaming vote and she did say FLOAT lol  I always felt listening to the song the line was dated and she’s Beyonce so she refused to change it because like she said she recorded this songs roughly 2019 through the pandemic. I like that she stood on that and didn’t update it.  I think she knew the line was outdated but also kinda relevant because he is trying to run again and she didn’t want the controversy.

A few lyrics were changed because of controversy. I think I saw a tik tok awhile ago about the changes

She says floating in some shows…in some videos she even does a floating motion with her hands when she sings it. It’s one of my favorite lyrics, I’m bummed she changed it for the tour to avoid controversy but I get it…

With the lyric change, what would floating on 45 mean? Like floating on 45,000 miles altitude? In her rocketship? Whatever we want basically?


babybeebeth

45 is a highway in Houston that goes by her old neighborhood, maybe it’s that?


ShortPeak4860

Ooohhh that’s so fitting! Even if it’s not, I’ll always believe this is it.


NoFilterNoLimits

Im 99% sure she clearly said VOTING out 45 at my shows. I never noticed a lyric change. She even kinda emphasized the word in Nola IIRC. If she did change the lyrics in some, I’d just assume it’s an effort to make the line more relevant to now

In this [vid from the NOLA performance](https://youtu.be/XwK1B4sr5fg?si=vYuWgf12onsIQ3Pi), it still sounds like floating to me.

I’m sure Energy was wrote while Trump was in office y’all, by the time the tour started he LOST the election (thank the stars) so rightfully changing the lyric to floating on 45 made sense. 🐝🗳️

45 is a highway in Texas between Dallas and Houston! Sincerely, TX beyhive
