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...

Trump Administration Dragged After U.S. Military Shoots Down One Of Our Own Drones Over Texas

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has long emphasized the "warrior ethos" he expects from the U.S. military but now his leadership (to say nothing of the Trump administration as a whole) is facing criticism after military personnel shot down a drone operated by U.S. Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) on Thursday in Texas in yet another display of incompetence.

Lawmakers said that the military used a laser to down a CBP drone at Fort Hancock, leading the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to expand flight restrictions near El Paso, Texas. The reason for the laser use remains unclear, but it was the second such deployment in the area in two weeks, despite rules requiring coordination with aviation regulators.

The Tkachuk brothers, Brady—who plays professional hockey for the Ottawa Senators based in the capital city in the province of Ontario, Canada—and Matthew—who plays for the Florida Panthers based in the metro Miami area—had already drawn ire online for being proud supporters of MAGA Republican President Donald Trump during the 2026 Milano Cortina Winter Olympics even before the disastrous locker room celebration with FBI Director Kash Patel after their gold medal win.
