The Super Bowl was full of action during the halftime show, but Empire star Taraji P. Henson somehow managed to confuse the performers; and now she has explained why.

“I don’t know if you know how it goes down in the suites. They put a lot of drinks in there,” she told Entertainment Tonight.

“Kool aid, lemonade, iced tea—I mixed it all and I sat there—and I’m sitting with people who drank the kool aid as well. S, you know, you’re doing a tweet, and I’m kind of like talking, everybody’s talking, and I [type] Maroon 5 and I put it down, and was like, ‘That’s not Maroon 5 right?’ and they go, ‘No, that’s Maroon 5.’ I’m like, ‘Are you sure?’ And I send it.”

She said it literally took seconds before her famous friends like Angie Martinez and Mary J. Blige hit her up telling her to snatch it off the Internet.

“Change your post!” they told her. But it was too late.

“I thought they were mad because I didn’t give homage to Beyonce! I’m like ‘The Beyonce post is coming!’ Then I realized it was Coldplay. I was like… ‘I’m human. I made a mistake. It happens! Come on. I drank the Kool aid!’”

Henson’s comments come after she hopped on Instagram during the halftime performance that featured Coldplay and wrote,“YAAAAAASSSSSSS!!!! #marron5 is life to me!!! #superbowl50 #HappyCamper I am”


It looks like she and even Maroon 5 are still able to laugh at her mistake.
