The internet is amused by Mariah Carey’s seeming confusion on what holiday it is—or which Shawn M is which.

The queen of Christmas music texted fellow singer Shawn Mendes to wish him a “Happy Thanksgiving.”

However it was March 17 and Saint Patrick’s day.

Giphy

Another issue?

Carey didn’t even mean to text Mendes, she was trying to reach out to a cousin named Shawn.

Carey shared a screenshot of the text messages on her Twitter account.


She quickly realized her blunder and apologized to Mendes. She also clarified in the text and in the tweet she was well aware it wasn’t Thanksgiving.

Carey explained in the tweet her text was an inside joke she shares with her cousin. Mendes replied he figured as much.

The two have had fun with each other on social media in the past.

Back in January 2021, Mendes posted on Instagram with the caption:

“Grateful 💙 The sun, coffee, my health, my family, old Mariah Carey songs, music, humans!!!"


Carey acknowledged the call out by imitating his post on Twitter:


People enjoyed this latest silly exchange between the stars.




Fans also loved their apparent friendship.



People also started to request a collab between the musicians.




We love seeing celebrity friendships.

Now, about that song collab...

Vance Cites ‘Traffic Violations’ To Help Justify Sending Migrant Dad To El Salvador Prison

Vice President J.D. Vance was criticized after he doubled down on his insistence that a Maryland father who was accidentally deported to an El Salvadorian prison due to an "administrative error" was a criminal, justifying the move—much to the anger of social media users—because the man had "traffic violations" that warranted his removal.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran national who arrived in the U.S. in 2012, was labeled a threat in 2019 due to an alleged connection to the MS-13 gang. He spent months in detention before an immigration judge found he had a credible fear of persecution—not from MS-13, but from a rival group, Barrio 18, which he said had been extorting his family.
