Us Open Tv Announcers Misidentify Dionne Warwick Call Her Gladys Knight

9:53 am PT — Clearly, Dionne isn’t sweating the confusion, tweeting, “Hi, I’m Gladys Knight … and instead of taking that midnight train to Georgia, I’m not going to walk, but I’m going to say a little prayer for you.” . MODERNIZE
While Serena Williams continued to shock the world with her incredible play at the US Open, the TV announcers showed celebrities coming out to support the GOAT, including Dionne Warwick — only problem — the broadcasters mistook her for Gladys Knight. And, it was just as creepy as it sounds. Mary Carillo and Chanda Rubin were behind the mic for ESPN … when during the third game of the first set, two women appeared on the screen between points. Chanda: I have a few more stars …Mary: Gladys Knight …Chanda: Gladys Knight …Mary: Hello! The problem… wasn’t Knight, but 5-time Grammy Award winner and fellow legend, Dionne Warwick. Shortly after the match, Chanda took to social media to explain what happened during the flub. “Too bad I was originally looking at the stadium (where Aunt Gladys was in the stands) and not the program tracker showing Ms. Dion…the mistake was fixed immediately.🤦🏽‍♀️,” the former player-turned-broadcaster clarified. To be fair, Gladys was actually in the building the night before … but not on Wednesday. It wasn’t the first time a star was mistaken for another celebrity during this year’s US Open. During Serena’s first round match, a short video posted online went viral after the poster mistook actress and advocate Laverne Cox for Beyonce. On Wednesday, there were plenty of other stars in the building, too… including Tiger Woods, Gigi & Bella Hadid, Spike Lee, Anna Wintour, Seal, La La Anthony and more. Getty

Everyone was in the building to watch Serena … who, after Monday’s win, went on to defeat No. 2 Anett Kontaveit. Williams now advances to the third round, where she will face Ajla Tomljanović. As for the flub, neither Dionne nor Gladys have addressed it.
