During a live broadcast of Serena Williams' second match against Anett Kontaveit on Wednesday night, Chanda Rubin and her co-commentator were discussing the match when footage cut to Warwick sitting in the stands. The pair then remarked, "Gladys Knight! Hello!" While Knight was also in attendance at the event, it was Warwick who the cameras were focused on at the time.

That includes Questlove, who shared a clip of the moment on Instagram with the caption: "Not like this. Dionne Warwick people!!!!! DIONNE WARWICK!!!!!" While the internet was thoroughly outraged by the blunder, Warwick and Knight both seemed to find humor in the situation. Gladys Knight and Dionne Warwick. Larry Busacca/Getty On Thursday, Warwick poked fun at the case of mistaken identity on Twitter, writing, "Hi, I'm Gladys Knight… and instead of taking that midnight train to Georgia, I won't walk on by but will say a little prayer for you." The Masked Singer alum's delightful jab includes a reference to Gladys Knight & the Pips' 1973 hit "Midnight Train to Georgia" alongside nods to her own singles, 1964's "Walk On by" and 1967's "I Say A Little Prayer." In her own tweet, fellow Masked Singer alum and music legend Knight appeared flattered by the comparison to the "I'll Never Fall In Love Again" singer. "Dionne and I have been sisters for a long time and I hope she is as honored to be mistaken for me as I would be her," she wrote. "I'm sure it was an honest mistake. It was a blessing to be in the house to see Serena's greatness." Strangely, Knight and Warwick aren't the only celebs who have been mistaken for one another at the U.S. Open.
