PAULA Abdul made an embarrassing error ahead of the Super Bowl halftime show on Sunday when she mistook Nicole Scherzinger for Shakira in a now-deleted tweet.
The former Pop Idol judge had been sharing a tweet to reveal her excitement about seeing Shakira, Jennifer Lopez and Demi Lovato perform at the sporting event.
She wrote: "Can't wait to watch these amazing women perform at the #SuperBowl," correctly tagging Lovato and Lopez.
But the picture she tagged of herself and "shakira" was actually a snap of herself and Nicole Scherzinger, 41, when they worked together on The X Factor USA.
And Pussycat Doll star Nicole didn't miss a beat as she responded with a hilarious comeback highlighted Paula's error.
She tweeted: "I mean, my hips don’t lie… but I’m not @shakira babes ?❤️"
Paula, 57, quickly deleted the tweet – but not before fans saw and screenshot the hilarious exchange.
One fan wrote: "If she says you’re Shakira now, that’s just how it is. Accept your new identity."
Another added: "Paula Abdul disrespecting the legendary name of Shakira by posting a photo of Nicole no sweetie no."
While one fan stated: "Paula posting an old picture with Nicole Scherzinger and thinking its Shakira is ?."
Hopefully there's no mistaking Shakira after the star's electric performance at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, Florida alongside Jennifer Lopez, 50.
The 43-year-old performed first in a stunning two-piece red glitter dress and showed her hips truly do not lie as she seductively danced across the stage.
She sang her medley of hits – which included She Wolf, Whenever, Wherever and Hips Don't Lie – joined by a sea of dancers in matching red costumes and Puerto Rican singer Bad Bunny.
The two pop superstar's closed the show with an epic booty-shaking rendition of Shakira's smash hit Waka Waka.
Their legendary performance is the first time in HISTORY two Latinas headlined the Super Bowl halftime show.
