Lady Gaga insists she didn't mistake Mariachi Festival for gay pride parade

On Sunday, Lady Gaga posted an Instagram photo showing her support for the Chicago Pride Parade. The only problem is it was actually the Mariachi Festival.

According to TIME, Gaga was on the balcony of her Chicago apartment and spotted a huge gathering of people below. Thinking that it was the Chicago Pride Parade, she posted a photo of herself on Instagram.

The caption read, “Watching over Chicago Pride from my apartment and smiling so big.” So many happy people. Happy pride!”

Gaga may have had good intentions, but many people believed, including the actual foundation, that the singer accidentally honored Mexican folk music.

The Mariachi Heritage Foundation poked fun at Gaga by creating the hashtag #GagaHasMariachiPride. They also found and altered Gaga’s Instagram. They photo-shopped a sombrero on top of her head and changed the caption “gay pride” to “mariachi pride.”

In a recent update, E! Online reports that Gaga knew that it was the mariachi band below her.

She wrote on twitter, “I am proud in general and did not mistake anything. I spent the entire day riding around the city seeing people celebrate.”
