She had the opportunity to meet with President Biden and Vice President Harris, and when asked by the host, she described her reaction to receiving the invitation.

“I always be thinking they [her team] are lying for some reason. Every time they tell me something good, I am like, ‘This can’t be real.’ I still haven’t accepted the reality of it,” she mentioned.

The F.N.F. (Let’s Go) singer also recounted the “experience”of passing through “security”and entering the premises.

“It was like, ‘Oh my God, I am here, I am here, I am here, I am here.’ Once I got in, it was a beautiful feeling. I never would have expected to be in the White House,” she added.

During her recent interview with Tamron Hall, the viral Instagram video from the day was played. The video showed her posing for a selfie with the President, and while she smiled and exclaimed, “Yeah, Joe!” , Joe Biden responded with, “Not ‘Yeah, Joe.’ Yeah, You!”
