The Chainsmokers Recall the Time Mariah Carey Confused Them With One Direction

Pop icon Mariah Carey is known for shading different artists by pretending to not know them — a very traditional transfer she’s directed at fellow divas together with Jennifer Lopez and Demi Lovato — however within the case of The Chainsmokers, Carey’s confusion appears a bit extra real.

On an episode of radio present The Morning Mashup, Alex Paul and Drew Taggart recounted assembly Mariah — the diva who’s, as Pall gushed, liable for a litany of classics together with “Fantasy" and “Honey.”

“And she was like, ‘Dude, I really like you guys,’” Pall mentioned on the present. “And we’re like, ‘Wow, you understand who we’re?’ And she’s like, ‘One Direction, proper?’”

Pall and Taggart proceeded to have a great snort over Mariah mistaking them with The British boy band, who they maybe do bear a slight resemblance to. Carey herself obtained in on the joke, responding to the story with the tweet under:
