During a segment on SiriusXM’s “The Morning Mashup” this past Wednesday, The Chainsmokers stated that Carey had confused them for another group! Here’s a snippet of how the awkward mishap went down:
“I remember seeing her and I was like, ‘Oh my God! Like ‘Fantasy’ and ‘Honey,’” Pall, 33, said of Carey’s singles, adding, “And she was like, ‘Dude, I love you guys!’”
Alright, everything has gone smoothly but wait what happens next…
“Were like, ‘Wow, you know who we are? And she was like, ‘One Direction, right?’” Pall said.
One Direction? We get that both One Direction and The Chainsmokers are both made up of male artists but their music genres are pretty distinctive. Plus, their contrasting accents are a dead giveaway. Additionally, as we all should know, One Direction is made up of four members while The Chainsmokers is just Andrew and Alex. Since Wednesday, Carey has responded to the uproar and left a great response on Twitter saying “@TheChainsmokers of course I know you!!”.
.@TheChainsmokers of course I know you!! I love your song “that’s what makes you beautiful”! 😂😘 https://t.co/CZsK0DzoYb
