If you were following Twitter around 7:45 p.m. ET today you were likely greeted by a tweet from Twitter with the F-bomb and an expression of emphatic love for Enrique Iglesias's song "Escape." If you're like us, you were having a major WTF moment.

The screenshot above says it all, but the peculiar tweet reads, "I don't know how Enrique Iglesias ended up in my iTunes but Escape is a catchy fuckin' song! http://bit.ly/bcY3wm Sing, Enrique! Sing!"

Here's what happened: Twitter's account is managed by multiple parties using the Contributors feature that lets users flip between their personal account and a shared account on Twitter.com. In the byline, Maggie Utgoff is credited as the contributor for the strange tweet. Thus, we assume she meant to post the tweet in question to her account, but instead mistakenly hit the trigger button for Twitter's official account.

She fessed up to the deed in a follow-up tweet on her personal account that reads, "I shouldn't assume ALL of TWITTER appreciates the musical stylings of Enrique Iglesias the way I do."

Nothing but an honest mistake, but a rather funny one that exposed the faux pas to Twitter's more than 3.2 million followers. Oops.
