Taraji P. Henson had a great view of the Super Bowl 50 contest between the champions, the Denver Broncos, and the Carolina Panthers from inside Levi’s Stadium. Much like everyone else, the Empire star was excited over the halftime show but actually confused the headlining Coldplay for another popular band.

From the Huffington Post:

“Empire” star Taraji P. Henson was super psyched for Maroon 5 to play the Super Bowl halftime show — too bad she got Coldplay instead.

On Sunday, Henson shared a clip of the show shot from her seat inside Levi’s Stadium, and wrote, “YAAAAAAASSSSSS!!!! #maroon5 is life to me!!! #superbowl50 #HappyCamper I am.”

The only problem with that is Coldplay, Beyoncé and Bruno Mars were the ones who shut it down during the halftime set. Still, Maroon 5’s Adam Levine still had a little fun with it at Henson’s expense after screen capping her excitable Instagram post. Henson replied by with a tweet reading “Oooooooopppps. Lmao!” during the conclusion of the game.

Henson is taking it all in stride, and even clarified her gaffe in an exclusive chat with Entertainment Tonight, which you can watch in the clip below.
