Internet reacts to President Joe Biden’s latest gaffe
The video of Joe Biden mistaking Taylor Swift for Britney Spears went viral on social media, and netizens couldn’t help but react with their hilarious comments.
One said: “See how he remembers the tour of the decade,” while another said: “To be honest, everyone’s brain is like that the week of Thanksgiving. “
One Beyoncé fan said: “As long as he knows about the Renaissance tour, that’s all that matters to me. He knows the important thing.”
“President Biden isn’t supposed to know who she is. I bet she knows who he is,” one person joked.
“To be honest, Beyoncé is closer to his age, that’s why he doesn’t know Taylor’s name: she’s for the new kids,” someone else said.
“Well he’s not wrong…since Britney isn’t on tour it would be really hard to get a ticket for her tour,” another social media user joked.
However, one user defended the president, saying: “Pop stars are memorable to a person based on the generation they belong to.” So if an 80+ year old (with a lot of more pressing things on his mind) can’t remember Taylor Swift vs. Britney Spears, that’s very understandable…give him a break.”
“Maybe he’s looking forward to Britney’s future tour. He wishes it existed,” one Spears fan wished.
Someone else said: “Tougher than the Swifties, the Beyhive and Britney are taking on Ticketmaster!!”

Taylor Swift previously supported Joe Biden for president
Taylor Swift, who has been a staunch supporter of the Democratic Party since 2018, criticized former President Donald Trump in an August 2020 post and supported then-presidential candidate Joe Biden.
The “Cruel Summer” singer spoke to V Magazine’s Thought Leaders issue and said an impending Joe Biden victory in the presidential election would begin the nation’s “healing process.”
She also praised the veteran Democratic leader and said in 2020: “The change we need most is to elect a president who recognizes that people of color deserve to feel safe and represented, that women deserve the right to choose what happens to their bodies, and that the LGBTQIA+ community deserves to be recognized and included.
Biden also once thanked the Grammy-winning superstar and posted, “Election day is fast approaching, are you ready for it?” according to NBC.
