Taraji P. Henson Thought Coldplay Was Maroon 5 At Super Bowl Halftime Show

You would think it’s pretty common knowledge that Coldplay was the Super Bowl 50 halftime show headliner (though it certainly seemed more like they were the supporting act to Beyonce and Bruno Mars), but apparently that’s wrong. In fact, Taraji P. Henson was jamming out at the big game to what she thought was Maroon 5, giving her life. Alas, Chris Martin is not Adam Levine (thank God), and Taraji’s public blunder was basically the best part of yesterday.

I suppose it doesn’t really matter who she was getting her life to, and all that matters is that she was enjoying herself. After all, it’s a pretty hilarious blunder to make and a harmless one at that, so why not just enjoy it for the genius it is? Someone with her must have set her straight on things rather quickly, though, as she hit up Twitter soon after to acknowledge her mistake:

Oops, indeed! No harm, no foul, Taraji. You just keep doing you.
