Laufey returned to the center stage as she joined a slew of A-listers and celebrities at the 83rd Golden Globe Awards.
Before the ceremony kicked off, the Grammy-winning singer strutted down the red carpet in a striking Balenciaga look that effortlessly turned heads.
The "From the Start” hitmaker dazzled in an eye-catching, orange, floor-length dress with a long train and cinched detail, adding drama to the outfit.
However, it wasn’t only her outfit that drew eyes on the red carpet, as her interaction with photographers quickly became a moment of its own.
As she posed on the iconic stairs, Laufey, whose real name is Laufey Lín Bing Jónsdóttir, corrected the photographers when she was continuously called “Megan.”
Laufey at the 83rd Annual Golden Globes.“My name isn’t Megan, so I don’t know…” she said, laughing slightly in a video posted by Deadline.
Fans on social media chimed in with a wave of reactions, offering apologies and rallying behind the singer.

— Deadline (@DEADLINE) January 11, 2026“Deepest apologies to my girl Laufey,” one wrote.
“This is so painful to watch. Why did they do it to my goat like that?” a follower said.
On the other hand, some thought that the Megan they were referring to was a member of a girl group.
“Wait, Katseye’s Megan? why she kinda actually looks like her,” a commenter mentioned.
This isn’t the first time Laufey has graced the red carpet, but it may be the first time she was mistakenly addressed by the wrong name.
In 2024, she arrived at the Golden Globes red carpet in a chic boho look in a Rodarte dress paired with Cartier accessories, effortlessly turning heads and showcasing her signature blend of elegance and modern style.
The 26-year-old is an Icelandic-Chinese singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist whose unique blend of jazz pop, bossa nova and classical influences makes her truly stand out.
Starting out in reality competitions, Ísland Got Talent, the Icelandic adaptation of the global Got Talent franchise, and The Voice Iceland, she made her mark in the music scene by releasing her debut EP in 2021 titled Typical of Me.
With her distinctive voice and fresh take on modern pop-jazz, Laufey has captured the hearts of listeners across generations, delivering hits like “Falling Behind” and “Lover Girl.”
In 2024, she scored a major milestone after winning her first Grammy Award. Laufey took home Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album for her album Bewitched at the 66th Annual Grammy Awards.
