Lady Gaga just can't help that there's a whole lot going on in Chicago.

The "Born This Way" singer decided to show her support for the city's pride parade on Sunday with a unique Instagram.

"Watching over Chicago Pride from my apartment and smiling so big," she wrote online. "So many happy people. Happy pride!! #lovewins."

She added, "This is just about the coolest things I ever saw. It feels good to know how many of my friends and loved ones are out celebrating and feeling valued. #lovewins."

Sounds terrific, right? Only trouble was the singer was posing on a balcony overlooking a completely different celebration.

The Mariachi Heritage Foundation revealed that Gaga's photo overlooked the Chicago Mariachi and Folklórico Festival. "Thank you again for helping us make history!" the group wrote. "#GagaHasMariachiPride."

While some were quick to call out the 29-year-old for her location confusion, Gaga headed to Twitter to assure fans that she knew what was happening around her the entire time.

"I am proud in general and did not mistake anything," she tweeted. "I spent the entire day riding around the city seeing people celebrate."

When the Supreme Court made their ruling last Friday morning to legalize same-sex marriage in all 50 states, Gaga was one of the many celebrities voicing their support on social media.

"I have traveled the world watching the younger and older generation come together and fight," she wrote on Instagram. "I feel privileged to have witnessed the LGBT community and supporters shift public consciousness. #lovewins over prejudice."
