Update, February 8, 2016: Taraji P. Henson chatted with Entertainment Tonight about that Maroon 5 mix-up. In short, blame it on the Kool-Aid.

"I don't know if you know how it goes down in the suites," she said. "They put a lot of drinks in there: 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."

She went on to explain that she was bombarded with messages following her initial post, and was quick to correct her mistake.

"I'm human, I made a mistake. It happens!"

Innocent mistake, Taraji P. Henson.

During the Super Bowl 50 halftime show, where Coldplay headlined alongside Beyoncé and Bruno Mars, the recent Golden Globe winner hit up Instagram to show her support.

The only issue: Henson accidentally mistook Coldplay for Maroon 5.

"YAAAAAAASSSSSS!!!! #maroon5 is life to me!!! #superbowl50 #HappyCamper I am," the Empire star wrote, before realizing her mistake and deleting the post.

She later addressed the mix-up on Twitter in the best way possible:
