switched up
Did something different
Switched up means changed or altered, usually abruptly or unexpectedly.
The phrase often implies inconsistency or betrayal—someone who switched up on you abandoned their previous position or loyalty: He switched up on me as soon as things got hard.
It can also simply mean varied or rearranged: I switched up my routine this morning.
