President Biden caused confusion on social media during the annual White House Thanksgiving turkey pardon by mixing up pop singers Taylor Swift, Beyoncé, and Britney Spears.
His comments, while attempting to joke about the difficulty of getting concert tickets, resulted in widespread cringing and criticism on social platforms.
Observers highlighted the mix-up, with some using it as a point of humor and others as a cause for concern about his fitness for office, given his age. (Trending: Donald Trump Gets Great News Ahead of 2024)

“Now, just to get here, Liberty and Bell had to beat some tough odds, a competition, Biden began.
“They had to work hard to show patience and be willing to travel over a thousand miles,” he continued.
“You could say even this is harder than getting a ticket to the Renaissance tour, or – or Britney’s tour she’s down in – it’s kind of warm in Brazil right now,” mumbled Biden.

“Joe Biden makes a joke about how hard it is to get tickets to Beyoncé’s Renaissance Tour except he says that her name is ‘Brittany.’ He then says she is currently performing in Brazil, which is where Taylor Swift just did shows on her Eras Tour,” explained Price.
Adding, “Beyoncé’s tour ended in October.
Guys, this is just embarrassing. It's unconscionable that the Democratic Party is thinking of running this candidate when they say democracy is on the line. Watch this clip and tell me that this is not a guaranteed loss for Democrats. https://t.co/nMP3pAQPRZ via @mediaite
