Sam Smith has changed the lyrics to their hit song “Stay With Me” in honour of a federal law signing, which recognises same sex and interracial marriages in the US.
The 30-year-old singer was performing at the White House on Tuesday (13 December), after being invited by Biden to celebrate the progressive change to laws.
The Respect for Marriage Act applies to same sex and interracial couples in the US, and protects their rights as couples by officially recognising their marriage.
During the performance, Smith sung “Stay With Me” and altered the usual lyrics of “This ain’t love it’s clear to see,” to “This is love it’s clear to see,” to mark the occasion.
“My deepest thanks to President Biden and First Lady Dr Jill Biden for inviting me to perform at the White House, it was a true honour,” wrote the singer in an Instagram post following the event.

The Exploited frontman Wattie Buchan collapsed on stage with a suspected heart attack mid-way through performing a show.
Buchan was playing a show in Bogota, Columbia on Saturday (10 December) with the band when he clutched his chest and fell down.
This would mark the second time the Scottish punk band’s frontman has suffered a heart attack on stage.
Back in 2014, the 65-year-old had a heart attack while performing a show in Lisbon, NME reports.
Since the recent collapse, the singer has been ordered to rest in a local hotel before returning to the UK, with the band forced to cancel the remaining dates on their tour.
“He tried playing on but had to actually stop a couple of songs until he eventually collapsed,” said the band’s spokesperson to Stv News, that he’d had a suspected heart attack.
