The incident took place on Friday, August 31, 2018, in Detroit, Michigan, the Soul Queen's hometown, and the internet immediately caught up with the situation.

Comedian Tim Young was one of the people who didn't waste time making fun of Clinton by taking to his Twitter account to criticize the politician over his 'wandering eyes.'

25-year-old Grande was invited to step on stage during the funeral service to honor Franklin by singing her classic "(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman," but the moment was a little weird.

UNDER THE SINGER'S SPELL

While the pop singer charmed the audience with her angelical voice, Clinton, who was sitting in the back, couldn't help but ogle at Grande's beauty.

During her performance, Clinton could be seen staring at her with a smile on his face, as if he was under a spell, but Grande's choice of outfit was also severely criticized online.

According to several people on Twitter, the 25-year-old should have shown a little more respect for the occasion by wearing a dress that wasn't so revealing.

But, despite all the staring and smiling, the former President delivered a speech about how he and his wife, Hillary, were avid fans of Franklin.

REMEMBERING FRANKLIN

Clinton shared that he didn't love and respect Franklin because of her talent, but because of 'what she did with it and how she treated others in the face of unimaginable success.'

The 72-year-old paid his respects to the Queen of Soul by adding that she worked to achieve her success and, because of her tough journey, she knew how it felt like to have little to no money.

Franklin was laid to rest at Woodlawn Cemetery, where several other members of her family, including her father, Reverend C.L. Franklin, is buried.
