Jazz sensation Laufey had a hilariously awkward moment on the 2026 Golden Globes red carpet when photographers kept yelling the wrong name. The 26-year-old singer set them straight with grace and a laugh. It all went down at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills.
Oh honey, red carpet mix-ups are the best kind of chaos! Laufey, the 26-year-old jazz singer who's been serving vocals and vibes since her breakout, stepped out in a stunning orange Balenciaga dress for the 2026 Golden Globes on Sunday, January 11, at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California. But as the flashes popped, photographers started hollering 'Megan!' over and over while snapping away.
Laufey, ever the class act, paused and awkwardly noted, 'My name isn’t Megan. So, I don’t know…' One photographer let out a surprised 'Oh!' as she cracked up and headed inside. It's unclear who they thought she was—maybe a case of celeb confusion in the frenzy?—but she took it all in stride without missing a beat. Eyes on her, everyone! 🔥
This comes hot on the heels of her latest album, A Matter of Time, which dropped last year and climbed to No. 4 on the Billboard 200. Laufey's star is rising faster than you can say 'jazz icon,' and moments like this just add to her relatable charm. Meanwhile, the Golden Globes ceremony kicked off at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT on CBS, hosted by comedian Nikki Glaser for her second year running. The night honors the best in movies and television, with a full slate of nominations and star-studded presenters. Will Laufey snag a nod next time? Stay tuned—because if this is any indication, she's unforgettable. 💅
