(NEW YORK) — OpenAI released the latest version of ChatGPT, the artificial intelligence language model making significant waves in the tech industry, on Tuesday.
GPT-4, the latest model, can understand images as input, meaning it can look at a photo and give the user general information about the image.
The language model also has a larger information database, allowing it to provide more accurate information and write code in all major programming languages.
GPT-4 can now read, analyze or generate up to 25,000 words of text and is seemingly much smarter than its previous model. GPT-4 scored in the 90th percentile on the Uniform Bar Exam. Its previous model scored in the 10th, according to OpenAI.
ChatGPT, which was only released a few months ago, is already considered the fastest-growing consumer application in history. The app hit 100 million monthly active users in just a few months. TikTok took nine months to reach that many users and Instagram took nearly three years, according to a UBS study.
“While less capable than humans in many real-world scenarios, [GPT-4] exhibits human-level performance on various professional and academic benchmarks,” OpenAI wrote in its press release, adding that the language model scored a 700/800 on the math SAT.
Though impressive, OpenAI acknowledged the program is still “far from perfect.”
“It is still flawed, still limited, and it still seems more impressive on first use than it does after you spend more time with it,” OpenAI CEO Sam Altman tweeted.
Artificial intelligence models, including ChatGPT, have raised some concerns and disruptive headlines in recent months. In education, students have been using the systems to complete writing assignments, but educators are torn on whether these systems are disruptive or if they could be used as learning tools.
These systems have also been prone to generate inaccurate information — Google’s AI, “Bard,” notably made a factual error in its first public demo. This is a flaw OpenAI hopes to improve upon — GPT-4 is 40% more likely to produce accurate information than its previous version, according to OpenAI.
Misinformation and potentially biased information are subjects of concern. AI language models are trained on large datasets, which can sometimes contain bias in terms of race, gender, religion and more. This can result in the AI language model producing biased or discriminatory responses.
Many have pointed out the malicious ways people could use misinformation through models like ChatGPT, like phishing scams or to spread misinformation to deliberately disrupt important events like elections.
OpenAI says it “spent months making [ChatGPT] safer,” adding the company is working with “over 50 experts for early feedback in domains including AI safety and security.”
GPT-4 is 82% less likely to provide users with “disallowed content,” referring to illegal or morally objectionable content, according to OpenAI.
(WASHINGTON) — Following a series of close calls involving commercial flights, aviation leaders are set to meet Wednesday to discuss the incidents and work to identify patterns and factors fueling risks to the industry.
The Federal Aviation Administration announced the safety summit last month as part of a review of the nation’s aerospace system, looking at structure, culture, systems and integration of safety efforts.
“We are experiencing the safest period in aviation history, but we cannot take this for granted,” the FAA’s acting administrator, Billy Nolen, said. “Recent events remind us that we must not become complacent. Now is the time to stare into the data and ask hard questions.”
The summit will feature remarks from Nolen as well as Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and National Transportation Safety Board Chairwoman Jennifer Homendy. The event will also include a panel moderated by Nolen and former NTSB Chair Robert Sumwalt, while participants will include various union and lobbying officials.
Nolen will ask participants about what they see in their own operations and request specific ideas about how to enhance the country’s safety net with concrete actions.
In an interview, Buttigieg said he has been seeing an “uptick” in close calls with aircraft in recent weeks.
“This year, we’re on track to have more than 20 — and even one is one that I would not like to see happen,” he told ABC News Transportation Correspondent Gio Benitez.
Buttigieg said he’s “very concerned” about these incidents but stressed the overall safety of the nation’s aviation system.
“We need to make sure that there is continuous improvement, continuous attention to our national aviation system,” Buttigieg said. “Air travel didn’t become the safest way to travel on its own. The American transportation system had to learn from decades of crashes.”
Data shows the more serious incidents have been declining over the last two decades even as the total number of incidents grows.
Buttigieg told ABC News that the rebound of aviation from lows seen during the COVID-19 pandemic has been “putting strain on the system” and the increased demand in air travel also may be contributing to the recent close calls.
When asked if experience among aviation workers is to blame, Buttigieg pushed back, saying, “It’s not just experience in general.”
“We are still talking about human beings,” he said. “And while, again, these cases are extremely rare — we’re not going to allow any of them to pass by without getting a very close, focused look at how it happened, why it happened and what steps could prevent it from happening.”
Buttigieg wrote to attendees of the safety summit on Tuesday, saying he expects to accomplish three things: identifying “patterns and risk factors,” identifying how the different parts of the aviation system can “address any risks” and identifying and implementing “additional steps” to reduce those risks.
“It is our responsibility to take a hard look at all factors and determine what steps are needed to reinforce a safety culture and strengthen safety practices, especially given significant disruptions and changes to the aviation sector coming out of a global pandemic,” Buttigieg wrote.
FAA and NTSB investigating a string of incidents
The FAA and NTSB are currently investigating six close calls involving commercial planes in recent months — five of which occurred at airports and one over the Pacific Ocean.
In December, United Flight 1722 bound for San Francisco experienced a sudden loss in altitude over the Pacific, officials have said. Shortly after takeoff from Maui, the Boeing 777 dropped to just 775 feet above the water in less than 20 seconds. The plane was then able to regain altitude and continue on to its final destination. There were no injuries.
On Jan. 13, an American Airlines flight crossed a runway at New York City’s John F. Kennedy International Airport without clearance from air traffic control, causing a Delta Air Lines plane to abort its takeoff from that runway, according to the NTSB. The closest point between the two aircraft was about 1,400 feet, a preliminary report from the agency stated.
Also in January, United Airlines 384 crossed a runway at Honolulu’s airport without clearance from air traffic control. A Cessna was landing on the same runway at the time. The Cessna came to a stop approximately 1,170 feet from the United flight, according to the FAA. There were no injuries or damage to the aircraft.
On Feb. 4, a FedEx plane landing at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport in Texas came within 100 feet of a Southwest Airlines jet taking off on the same runway, the FAA said. Both planes were given clearance from air traffic control to use that runway.
And in February, two more close calls, according to officials — one of which occurred at Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport in Florida after an air traffic controller cleared an American Airlines flight to land on the same runway an Air Canada Rouge plane was cleared to take off from. The American flight self-initiated a go-around and the two aircraft were approximately 3,100 feet from each other.
The other incident occurred at Boston Logan International Airport after a Learjet took off without clearance from air traffic control as a JetBlue flight was preparing to land on an intersecting runway.
(WASHINGTON) — There’s a growing list of politicians, conservatives and liberals alike, who back raising teacher pay.
But while members in both chambers of Congress, multiple governors and President Joe Biden all agree that the issue deserves attention, amid high inflation and an ongoing shortage of instructors, they disagree on whether it needs the federal government to offer a solution — and if so, how.
Nationally, teachers’ median pay was about $61,000 in 2021, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, meaning half of teachers made less than that and half made more.
Compensation can vary widely: California, Massachusetts and New York’s average teacher wages top $85,000 annually, labor statistics show, while Oklahoma and Mississippi on average pay teachers less than $50,000.
Last week, Arkansas’ Republican Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders signed into law the LEARNS Act, a sweeping package which, among many other changes, increases the minimum salary for public and charter school teachers in her state from $36,000 to $50,000.
Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders wants to go further. On Thursday, he introduced the Pay Teachers Act which, like a similar legislative proposal in the House, would raise public school teacher salaries nationwide to $60,000 or higher.
“There is a major teacher crisis in America and we need to significantly attract more people into the teaching profession,” Sanders, chairman of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP), told ABC News. “Probably the easiest — the fastest — way to do that is by raising the minimum salary to at least $60,000,” he said.
Sen. Mike Braun, R-Ind., who sits on the HELP committee with Sanders, said he supports the premise behind the bill but would like it to be tied to performance. Braun said a larger overhaul of the system may attract more educators.
“I think we need to invest more in our school teachers,” Braun said in the wake of Sanders’ legislation.
“I’m not sure I’d take that approach. I think, in general, teacher pay obviously is going to have to be raised,” Braun said. “And to me it would be done through some type of performance measurement in general and inject choice and competition into the process. It might be an easier place for teachers to build a career if it was kind of restructured, you know, in other ways other than just throwing more money at it.”
The Pay Teachers Act is one of two recent proposals focused on instructors’ salaries.
Florida Democratic Rep. Frederica Wilson, a career educator, introduced the American Teacher Act last month with Rep. Jamaal Bowman, D-N.Y., a former principal. Their bill would incentivize states to raise minimum salaries to $60,000 for public K-12 teachers, through a grant program at the U.S. Department of Education, as well as mandate yearly increases congruent to inflation.
Wilson previously told ABC News that she sees her target number as the most achievable goal despite some educators supporting higher base pay.
Citing some of the same concerns as Sanders did, Wilson said in December, “We can choose to take this issue head on or lose America’s teachers and have the education of our students severely impacted.”
Under Wilson and Bowman’s bill, states would need to opt-in to the federally funded short-term grants. Sanders called for the money to come from tripling funding for high-need or low-income public schools, as designated under Title I.
It’s unclear how quickly either bill may be taken up by committees, if at all.
Meanwhile, the U.S. Education Department has called for COVID-19 pandemic relief money from the federal government to be used to bump up teacher pay in the short term while also urging state-level action.
“Secretary [Miguel] Cardona has vocally said that states and schools can use American Rescue Plan funds to lift up the salaries of teachers,” a department spokesperson said, adding, “He also made sure to call on governors and state legislatures to match the urgency of the president to [use] the same amount of funding because the ARP money is temporary, so now it’s about long-term investments to make sure teacher salaries are lifted up.”
Whether there’s a majority in the currently divided Congress to pass either Sanders’ or Wilson and Bowman’s bill — or any push to increase teacher pay nationally — remains unknown. Other Republicans and Democrats disagree with how this issue should be handled and said they’re wary of Congress stepping in.
“There are constitutional questions, but there are also logical questions about it,” Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., said. “I think everyone would love for teachers to make more, but teachers don’t work for the federal government, so they should talk to their school boards and state legislatures.”
The House’s Education and the Workforce Committee chairwoman, Rep. Virginia Foxx, advocated for increased teacher pay when she was in the North Carolina state legislature. Congress, however, shouldn’t force a national policy where the states would know better, she said.
“Imposing a one-size-fits-all plan at the federal level to K-12 education across the country will not improve schools or set students on the path to success,” Foxx, R-N.C., said.
Both Arkansas and Florida have recently approved major bumps to teacher pay at the state level. Last year, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, a Republican, backed a budget that boosted salaries to a $47,000 minimum.
In January, DeSantis proposed investing $1 billion to raise teacher salaries again.
Education finance expert Jess Gartner said teachers are categorically underpaid — they should make at least 20% more than they do, on average — but she also said that in her view the recent congressional proposals are not rooted in economic reality.
“This [$60,0000] is just a number,” Gartner said. “What is it based in? Where did that number come from? Is it high enough? Is it too high? I do not like policies like that because I think they sound great in headlines but in practice, it’s chaos.”
Sanders, an independent who caucuses with Democrats, last week pushed back on conservative lawmakers’ criticism.
“They’re wrong,” he said. “Congress has got to work with the state. Certainly states have an enormous responsibility, but states are going to need financial support. That’s going to significantly come from the federal government.”
Erwin Chemerinsky, the dean of University of California at Berkeley’s Law School, said he believes Sanders and Wilson are well-within their constitutional authority to tie salary requirements to federal funding.
Teachers have told ABC News that strict time demands coupled with persistent student behavioral issues and lack of administrative support have made the profession undesirable without some pay incentive.
Even with incremental salary increases, some teachers said their raises have been inadequate due to the pressures from inflation.
“We have the worst compensation plan in any major industry in America,” said Eric Hale, the compensation committee lead within Texas’ teacher vacancy task force. “That’s a tough sell for a savvy student who can go into any other industry and look at making twice, three times as much as a teacher, right? So we got to fix that.”
(NEW YORK) — At least one hiker is dead and one still remains missing after a group of three were reported missing in Utah on Monday, officials say.
The incident occurred on Monday morning when the Kane County Sheriff’s Office in Utah received a call from a spouse informing them that a party of three hikers — who had left on Friday to hike Buckskin Gulch on the border between Arizona and Utah — were supposed to have come back by Sunday but had never returned.
A search and rescue team was immediately initiated for the three missing hikers — all adult makes in their mid-40’s to mid-50’s — with a Utah Department of Public Safety helicopter being sent to the canyon where they had been hiking, according to the Kane County Sheriff’s Department.
“Camping debris was located which led to the location of one of the three hikers,” said Allan Alldredge of the Kane County Sheriff’s Office in a statement obtained by ABC News. “A SLC helicopter with hoist capabilities was then flown over the canyon to lower someone to extract the hiker and get them medical attention.”
The hiker was subsequently taken to hospital for medical treatment, but authorities gave no further details on the man’s condition.
The Kane County Sheriff’s Office confirmed that one of the three hikers reported missing in Buckskin Gulch on Monday has since been found dead while another still remains missing.
Authorities did not disclose how the man may have died but did confirm that the search for the third missing man is still currently active.
In separate instances, the search for the three hikers also led to multiple other rescues of people in the area who needed to be airlifted out due to severe weather, officials said.
“During this search, two other parties have called for SAR resulting in 11 people being airlifted out of the canyon due to severe weather,” said Alldredge.
The identity of the victims have yet to be released and the search and rescue operation for the last missing man is ongoing.
(NEW YORK) — Five thousand miles long, 400 miles wide, and over six million tons, a massive bloom of seaweed is drifting toward Florida and the Gulf of Mexico.
Scientists at the University of South Florida, with the help of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, have been tracking the bloom of sargassum, a type of brown seaweed, using satellites. Originating in the Atlantic Ocean, the bloom is approaching the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico, posing a threat to beaches across the Gulf, including tourism-centric Florida.
“If you’ve ever been on a beach that had a huge abundance of this, it’s not fun,” Dave Tomasco, executive director of the Sarasota Bay Estuary Program, told ABC News. “It rots, it uses up the oxygen water, and smells like rotten eggs.”
When the bloom hits a beach, it can pile one to two meters high on the shoreline and clog swimmable waterways, according to scientists. If the seaweed is not removed from the beach quickly, it will begin to rot, emitting hydrogen sulfide gas, most associated with the smell of rotting eggs that can irritate skin, eyes and the throat, as well as make breathing difficult for those with asthma.
According to Tomasco, the bloom is more likely to harm the tourism industry than harm wildlife by piling up and stinking up famous Florida beaches.
Octavio Penaloza, who manages Wings Beachwear in Miami Beach, said the bloom impacting Miami could impact his bottom line.
“If anything happens to the beach, it would impact us,” he said.
He noted that his busy season includes June and July — the same months when the sargassum peaks in size, according to scientists. While his customer base includes tourists buying souvenirs without visiting the beach, many customers stop by his store for beachwear, which would become unnecessary if beaches become less pleasant.
“[If] the seaweed comes, we will have like less people coming to buy from our store because they mostly buy things to go to the beach,” Penaloza said.
For a measurable impact on Florida beaches, University of South Florida research professor Brian Barnes said that a concentrated amount of about “the size of a football field” of seaweed must land on a seashore at once.
“If it’s a big enough blimp or big enough patch that hits a particular beach, then it can kind of overwhelm the capabilities [of the beach],” Barnes said.
While the bloom spans over two million square miles, it only completely covers about .1 percent of the sea surface, spread in patches that vary in size significantly, according to Barnes. The bloom will take months to reach land ultimately and might increase in size as the water temperature increases; the location where it lands is also dependent on wind and currents, with Barnes warning that Southeast Florida, including Miami and the Florida Keys, are the areas in the United States most likely to be impacted.
When and if it arrives, the Florida Department of Health warns that decaying sargassum’s hydrogen sulfide will irritate the skin, eyes, throat, and nose. It is unlikely to injure seriously in an airy setting like a beach, but people with asthma might have trouble breathing due to the gas.
Tomasco also noted that the hydrogen sulfide could interact with paint molecules on homes, turning them into a grayish silver color and even tarnishing silverware.
Chuanmin Hu, a professor at the University of South Florida who works on tracking the bloom with Barnes, said the amount of seaweed heading to the coast is not a cause for alarm, emphasizing that sargassum is natural and not toxic to ocean life.
Hu said that this amount of seaweed is the “new normal” for the Atlantic Ocean; however, the current seaweed mass set the record for the largest bloom of sargassum recorded during January, though it decreased in size in February.
“At least it will be one of the major sargassum years, although we don’t know if it will be a record year or not,” Hu said, emphasizing that the size of the bloom reaches its peak in June and July.
Compared to the red tide, a toxic algae bloom that has wreaked havoc on Florida’s Gulf Coast over the last decade by killing sea life and even manatees, sargassum is not harmful to wildlife under most conditions. Hu said that some animals, including sea turtles, fish, crabs, and shrimp could eat or find shelter in the blooms.
However, Tomasco warned that sargassum on beaches could disrupt sea turtle nesting habitats. Hu also noted that if sargassum sinks to the ocean floor compactly, it could smother and kill coral and seagrass.
“They sink to the ocean floor and smother things,” Hu said, noting that most of the bloom will likely end on the seafloor instead of the beach.
While the blooms are the “new normal” compared to the last few years, Barnes noted that they were “unheard of” before 2011, characterizing their sudden emergence as a mystery.
“Any type of bloom of any relative size is unheard of before 2011,” Barnes said. “Like, we never saw any type of bloom like this; there’s no reports of huge beachings or anything like that in the Caribbean.”
While Hu said there is no direct evidence to link the blooms to climate change, Tomasco pointed to the nature of sargassum — including the fact that it grows larger in warmer waters — as an indication of why it has reemerged.
“The world is changing, and part of that is the oceans are getting warmer, and algae seems to be able to grow over a longer period of the calendar now then used to be the case,” Tomasco said.
Tomasco also pointed to the increased use of fertilizing in Florida agriculture and landscaping, which runs off into the gulf and helps spur the seaweed’s growth. Hu clarified that the fertilizer would impact the seaweed when it enters the Gulf of Mexico near the shore, not when the sargassum initially grows in the Atlantic.
Regardless of the reason for the growth, what is clear to all three scientists is that coastal communities will learn to manage the new normal of this seaweed.
“I don’t see anything that indicates it’s trending anywhere but up,” Barnes said.
(NEW YORK) — The U.S. Marshals on Tuesday issued a wanted poster for Roy McGrath, an ex-chief of staff to former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan who is accused of stealing hundreds of thousands of dollars while working for a state agency.
The Marshals are “now seeking to apprehend the former Maryland governor’s top aide after he failed to appear in court on Monday, March 13,” the agency said in a brief statement posted on Twitter.
McGrath was charged in 2021 and 2022 with wire fraud, embezzlement and falsifying documents stemming from his time running the state-owned Maryland Environmental Service, a position to which he was appointed by Hogan before becoming a top gubernatorial aide, federal prosecutors have said.
According to prosecutors, McGrath allegedly falsified documents in order to receive more than $276,000 related to his time at MES, which provides services like water and wastewater management, solid waste management, composting and recycling.
McGrath is accused of “caus[ing] the MES Board of Directors to approve paying McGrath a $233,647.23 severance payment—equal to one year’s salary—upon his departure from MES by falsely telling them that the Governor [Hogan] was aware of and approved the payment,” among other suspected crimes, prosecutors said last year.
He also allegedly submitted false time sheets and allegedly attempted to delete documentation from a board of directors meeting about his compensation.
McGrath was living in Florida and was supposed to be in Baltimore for the start of his trial on Monday, according to the Marshals — but he did not show up.
A lawyer for McGrath did not respond to ABC News’ request for comment.
Prosecutors have said McGrath faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in federal prison for each of the five counts of wire fraud; a maximum of 10 years in federal prison for each of two counts of embezzling funds from an organization receiving more than $10,000 in federal benefits; and a maximum of 20 years in federal prison for the charge of falsifying a document if convicted.
With Taylor Swift kicking off her sold-out Eras Tour this Friday, a new survey looked into which “Era” of Taylor’s career people are most interested in hearing songs from — and the answer is the one that started in — or should we say with — 1989.
Morning Consult released a study looking into the demographics and attitudes of Taylor’s fans, and found that people who describe themselves as “avid fans” overwhelmingly picked 1989 as their favorite album of hers, as did U.S. adults in general. Her self-titled debut album came in second place among avid fans, with Fearless in the number two spot among U.S. adults.
The market research company questioned approximately 2,204 adults in the U.S. between March 3 and March 5 to gather its results. The survey also revealed that while 53% of U.S. adults like Taylor, only 16% would call themselves “avid fans,” and less than half of those “avid fans” consider themselves “Swifties,” indicating an unwillingness to be associated with her fan army.
The survey also found that 52 percent of Taylor fans are women, while the remaining 48 percent identify as male.
And what’s the driving force behind their intense admiration for Taylor? Her music was the biggest factor, with 73 percent saying they love Taylor because of her songs. 50% say they’re fans because of her performances and music videos, while 42% like her because they feel she’s relatable.
And if you’re going to see Taylor for the first time on the Eras tour, don’t assume that the audiences will be full of little kids. The survey found that 45% of Taylor fans are millennials; just 21% are Gen X, and 23% are baby boomers.
Survey questions, methodology and results have not been verified or endorsed by ABC News or The Walt Disney Company.
Linkin Park‘s “Lost” certainly hasn’t had trouble finding listeners.
The newly unearthed song — which dates back to the sessions for LP’s 2003 Meteora album and features lead vocals by the late Chester Bennington — is the #1 single on Billboard‘s Mainstream Rock Airplay chart and hit the top 40 on the all-genre Hot 100 ranking.
“It’s been really nice to see so many people react to [‘Lost’] and connect to [it],” co-vocalist Mike Shinoda tells ABC Audio.
“Lost” is making its debut two decades later, ahead of the upcoming 20th anniversary Meteora reissue.
“It’s a new, old song,” Shinoda laughs. “It’s a very weird release. I don’t think we’ve ever had a new, old song.”
Given its huge success, you might wonder why “Lost” didn’t make the track list for the original Meteora.
“In making the album, we had 20-something songs, 20-something demos,” Shinoda explains. “Then eventually, it was, like, ‘OK, there’s gonna be 12 songs on the album,’ and ‘Lost’ was #13.”
“It became obvious that we already had ‘Numb’ on the album,” he continues. “We thought [‘Lost’] was similar in tone, so we didn’t want another song like that.”
Linkin Park would then follow Metora with 2007’s Minutes to Midnight, which marked a significant sonic departure from the nu-metal of the group’s first two albums.
“We intended to put [‘Lost’] out in some way after [Meteora],” Shinoda shares. “But by the time we got to the next album, Minutes to Midnight, it was obvious that we weren’t going to do that.”
The 20th anniversary Meteora package will be released April 7.

On Tuesday, it was announced that the first installment of the much-anticipated film version of Wicked, starring Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo, would be hitting theaters a month early: November 27, 2024. The casting of both stars wasn’t announced until November of 2021, but Adam Lambert, who was part of the national touring company and the LA production of Wicked, says he first suspected in 2018 that Ariana would be in the film.
Adam and Ariana were both part of the 2018 NBC special A Very Wicked Halloween, which marked the 15th anniversary of the beloved Broadway musical. “It’s crazy. I remember thinking to myself when Ariana was there singing the song, she had her green lipstick on, I went, ‘How did they get Ariana to come?'”he told ABC Audio.
He continued, “And I thought to myself, ‘Maybe there’s something going on. Maybe there’s some talks going on about the film.’ Because everybody that was in Wicked at one point or another knows that a film was imminent. We knew it was coming.”
Adam told ABC Audio approved of Ariana playing Glinda in the movie, and of Cynthia playing Elphaba, the future Wicked Witch of the West.
“I’ve sung with Cynthia too, virtually. We did a duet during the pandemic for a charity, the Aretha Franklin/George Michael song, ‘I Knew You Were Waiting,’ and I met her in passing,” Adam recalled.
“And when she was announced, I was really excited because I know the show, obviously. I’ve done the show and I think she’ll sing the heck out of it and act the heck out of it,” he adds. “And I know Ariana will too, so it’s going to be really fun to watch.”
The second installment of Wicked is still slated for a Christmas 2025 release.
Keith Urban can now officially add “car crusher” to his resume.
Last weekend, Keith took a trip out to Dig This Vegas in Las Vegas to try his hand at crushing a car.
“A huge thank you to everyone at @DigThisVegas for letting me go mad in your big a** sandbox & annihilate a poor, unsuspecting Ford Focus before the show last weekend !” Keith tweeted.
In the accompanying video, the “Wasted Time” singer is captured having complete fun in a forklift as he lands seismic crushes on a white Ford Focus. “Take that, you son of a b****!” exclaimed Keith as he overturned the battered car.
Keith is currently in Las Vegas for his headlining residency. For a full list of dates and to get tickets, visit Keith’s website.
