I love Beyoncé. You love Beyoncé. Literally EVERYONE loves Beyoncé. Karlie Kloss, though? Looks like she’s not so sure.
Declaring her love and wholehearted commitment to Queen Bey in a “Mega Fan Profile” for Love magazine, the 24-year-old model—despite an excessive use of hearts and smiley face doodles—exposed herself as a fake fan when she mistakenly cited TLC’s “Waterfalls” as one of her favorite songs from Beyoncé’s Destiny’s Child days.

In addition to referring to the 1994 hit from a different all-black girl group—of which Beyoncé was most certainly not a member—as the “soundtrack to my life,” Kloss noted the singer’s “smile and kindness” and “passion and creativity” as a few of her favorite attributes, promptly calling herself a #FANGIRL.
Resulting in a hilarious storm of backlash from the Beyhive on Twitter, many were quick to question the validity of the model’s supposed fangirl status, pointing out that not only were her Beyoncé references embarrassingly off, but so too was her knowledge of ’90s/’00s pop culture in general.
