Thanks to Ariana Grande (“Grande” isn’t said like the medium-sized drink at Starbucks, but like “Gran-dee.”) and this tweet:
You know how innocent you have to be to allow a world to pronounce yo last name wrong yo whole life and just go along with it?

This prompted a fan of model Chrissy Teigen to point out another celebrity mispronunciation. Teigen tweeted that she gave up on correcting people a long time ago, but yes, her name’s pronounced “tie-gen” and not “tee-gen.”
Chrissy replied to a fan of hers pointing this out” “word! gave up a long time ago. last name is tie-gen not tee-gen.”

I don’t correct people, ever. They can call me Janet and I won’t. Wrong order? I’ll eat it. Taxi going to the wrong airport? I’ll change my flight. https://t.co/eSZDvKRaRK

There you have it, people! I am a “victim” of this. Hopefully, I’ve made up for it with cash, as I’ve bought copies of her first cookbook for all my friend’s birthdays and I will do it again this year, now that her new cookbook is out.
