After days of speculation over Beyoncé’s alleged lipsynch of the National Anthem, a new source has stepped forward claiming the superstar chose a pre-recorded rendition of the song because she was busy preparing for the Super Bowl Halftime Show.

Colonel Michael Colburn, Director of the Marine Corps Band, told The Times of London, “She’s getting ready for the Super Bowl, so we didn’t have a chance to do anything with her until the night, so it’s a very tight window of opportunity.”
