Taraji P. Henson Confuses One Band Of White Men For Another

Adam Levine and Chris Martin: Tomato, tomah-to? Obviously these two singers — and their backup bands — aren’t interchangeable. But we can see how a gal might get confused.

Case in point: Last night, Taraji P. Henson shared an Instagram shot from Super Bowl 50, praising the halftime show. "#Maroon5 is life to me!!!" she captioned the image.

Fair enough. But Maroon 5 wasn't playing last night: Coldplay was. And though the Empire actress quickly yanked the photo, Adam Levine managed to snag a screen grab.

THIS.

Henson didn't glaze over the case of mistaken identity. She owned up to it on Twitter not long afterward.

Oooooooopppps. Lmao! #Superbowl50

We all make mistakes, and this one definitely wasn't a big deal. Not like, for example, when the official Golden Globes Twitter handler couldn't distinguish between America Ferrara and Gina Rodriguez. Now that was an actual faux pas.


Like what you see? How about some more R29 goodness, right here?
