A lighthearted prank turned into a viral moment as American singer Madison Beer mistakenly believed that an internet user posing as Tini Stoessel was a genuine fan.
The confusion began when the Argentine popstar shared a photo on Twitter featuring a bold styling choice, notably Balenciaga flip flops paired with tights.
The prankster posed as Tini, humorously claiming to have received life-sustaining merchandise and shared the photo. Madison Beer, thinking it was an enthusiastic fan, promptly reposted the tweet with an exclamation, "Hello?!!!! You are so h*t."
The unexpected repost led to Madison Beer and Tini Stoessel becoming a trending topic on Twitter. Clarifying the situation, Madison's fandom explained, "It's trending because a fan made a prank on her pretending to be Tini."
Twitter users joined the conversation, generating numerous tweets and memes, with one playfully suggesting, "Tini, you already won, make yourself a cake." Memes humorously referenced Tini's daring fashion statement, particularly the combination of flip flops and stockings.
Balenciaga's slides, popularly known as pool flip-flops, have become a fashion staple among celebrities. Tini's fashion choice, similar to stars like Bella Hadid and Hailey Bieber, garnered attention. The Balenciaga footwear, often associated with its ode to "bad taste" with the introduction of "ugly sneakers," continues to make waves in the fashion world.
