HOWEVER. While introducing Mickey, NBC accidentally titled her image with Jhené's name...

And it wasn't just there for a second. Oh no. The names were mislabeled for like a FULL 15 seconds.

People were rightfully upset.

Mickey Guyton and Jhene Aiko both did an amazing job... still tryna figure out how they were mixed up... "technical difficulties" are always so convenient. Yall had one job. Don't mix up the Black folk during Black History Month. Lol #SuperBowl #SuperBowlLVI #BlackHistoryMonth

Luckily, despite the mix-up, fans were still enamored with their performances.

And Mickey seemed very excited to be there.

"Look at God," she wrote on Instagram. "None of this would be possible without this incredible group of people and community that surrounds me. Thank you for lifting me up and holding me down. Love you all."

She even shared this super-cute behind-the-scenes photo of her parents hugging her at the game.

So happy for both of them!!
