Changing with the times. Beyoncé has joined the ranks of Taylor Swift, Lizzo and other artists who have changed their lyrics after realizing they offended listeners.

Beyoncé confirmed she will remove an "ableist" lyric used in a song on her new "Renaissance" album following online backlash from the disability rights community. The 40-year-old artist will change the word "spaz" from the 11th anthem on the catalog, "Heated," to another, as yet undetermined, term. "The word, not used intentionally in a harmful way, will be replaced," a representative for Beyoncé told Fox News Digital.

Beyoncé should have listened to Lizzo!

Beyoncé is making a change to her lyrics in the song “Heated” from her latest album, , following backlash from the disabled community.On Monday, a rep for the singer told ET, “The word, not used intentionally in a harmful way, will be replaced.” On the song “Heated,” ​Beyoncé sings, “Spazzin’ on that a**, spazz on that a**,” which has been labeled as ableist by members of the disabled community.  According to theNational Institute of Neurological Disorders and Strokes, spastic is defined as “a condition in which there is an abnormal increase in muscle tone or stiffness of muscle, which might  interfere with movement, speech, or be associated with discomfort or pain.

Beyoncé will replace a song lyric on new album Renaissance after some fans complained it features an ableist slur. In a move that echoes a similar incident involving Lizzo last month, Beyoncé's team have confirmed to Variety that the line “Spazzin’ on that ass, spazz on that ass” from "Heated" will be replaced.

Beyoncé is set to remove an offensive album lyric which uses an albeist slur from her new album ‘Renaissance’.The star faced a backlash over the use of an offensive term on her new track ‘Heated’, where she sings: “Sp***in’ on that ass, sp** on that ass,” towards the end of the song.While used colloquially in the United States with a similar meaning to “freak out” or “go crazy”, the term emerges from the word “spastic”, which is used medically to describe the spasms one might experience from a condition like cerebral palsy. The term is often used in a derogative manner to describe those with disabilities, especially cerebral palsy.Now, following the backlash, the star’s publicist told Sky News the lyric is now set to be replaced and that it was not “used intentionally in a harmful way.”Disability equality charity Scope had described the use of the “deeply offensive term” as “appalling”, while disability advocate Hannah Diviney said the singer’s status as one of the most famous musicians in the world did not “excuse her use of ableist language”.“So @Beyonce used the word ‘sp**’ in her new song ‘Heated’.

Beyoncé has been criticized for using an ableist slur on her Renaissance track “Heated”.

Zack Sharf Beyoncé’s seventh studio album “Renaissance” debuted July 29 to universal acclaim, but one lyric in the song “Heated” left many listeners  outraged on social media. The song includes the word “spaz” during a verse in which Beyonce sings: “Spazzin’ on that ass, spazz on that ass.” In the medical field, “spastic” refers to a disability that makes it difficult for people to control their muscles, especially in their arms and legs.

Lizzo has changed a line in her new single ‘Grrrls’ following controversy over the use of a word that originates as a slur against people with cerebral palsy.Apparently unaware of the negative connotations of the word, Lizzo last night confirmed that she had re-recorded the line in the song that included it and had not intended to “promote derogatory language”.“Hold my bag, bitch, hold my bag / Do you see this shit? I’ma spaz”, sang Lizzo in the opening line of the original version of the song, released on Friday. Defending Lizzo, some fans argued that the word no longer has ableist connotations, and rather means “go crazy” or “freak out” – terms that have their own issues.People with cerebral palsy countered that it’s not for non-disabled Lizzo fans to tell them what they should or shouldn’t be offended by.“Hey @lizzo, my disability Cerebral Palsy is literally classified as Spastic Diplegia (where spasticity refers to unending painful tightness in my legs), your new song makes me pretty angry and sad”, wrote disability advocate Hannah Diviney on Twitter.
