During his Thanksgiving turkey pardoning speech on Monday, Nov. 20, Joe Biden confused two blonde pop artists.
The President talked about the pardoned turkeys, Liberty and Bell, during the speech, which also happened to be his 81st birthday.
He mentioned that the birds had to travel more than a thousand miles on a grueling voyage.
"You could say it's harder than getting a ticket to the Renaissance tour or," Biden says before appearing to struggle to remember Taylor Swift's name so he could specifically mention the popular Eras tour.
Or Britney's tour," he said instead, seemingly confusing Taylor Swift with Britney Spears. "She's down in - it's kind of warm in Brazil right now.

The president was right about how nighmarish it is to have a tour in Brazil right now - Swifties certainly suffered.
Swift recently concluded a run of shows in Rio de Janeiro's Estádio Olímpico Nilton Santos. The singer called off the second night of her Eras Tour performance in Rio de Janeiro on Saturday, November 18, citing "extreme temperatures."
The event scheduled for Saturday will instead take place on Monday, Nov. 20, according to a statement posted on Instagram by Brazilian music promoter T4T. More details regarding the rescheduled event will be made available on taylorswifttheerastour.com.br.
Despite a record-breaking hot wave in Rio, several concertgoers complained that they were not permitted to bring water bottles into the stadium, according to the Associated Press.
On Friday, the city saw highs of 102.4 degrees Fahrenheit.
In a report, the fans described the kind of hell they experienced.
Fans greeted Taylor Swift with wide arms on Friday as she finally brought the Eras Tour to Rio de Janeiro, as did the famous Christ the Redeemer statue.
The death of a fan in oppressive heat soon turned what was supposed to be a "dream" for thousands of Swifties into a nightmare.
During Friday's performance at Nilton Santos Olympic Stadium, NBC News chatted with four fans who were positioned throughout the stadium.
They reported witnessing several persons faint. Because guests were not permitted to bring in water, it was also in short supply.
Some were lucky to have tickets to all three Rio gigs, but many others did not. The show on Sunday was as "smooth as it could be."
According to reports, Swift did well in the rainy weather. However, there was no concert do-over for those who could only get tickets on Friday, and their bad musical experience tainted their memory of the Swift show.
