Broadway star Renee Elise Goldsberry admitted she was 'drunk scrolling' when she mistook a positive COVID test on her Instagram feed for a pregnancy test

• Goldsberry said she was "drunk scrolling" when she told a friend "congratulations" on getting COVID-19.

• Laura Benanti had posted a photo of a positive COVID-19 test Monday.

• Goldsberry said she thought it was the "wrong positive test," implying she thought it was a pregnancy test.

Tony Award winner Renee Elise Goldsberry may have had a little too much fun celebrating her birthday Monday.

When fellow Broadway star Laura Benanti shared a picture of her positive COVID-19 test to Instagram with the caption "Happy New Year?" Monday, Goldberry mistook the now infamous at-home test for a different kind of at-home test.

"AAAAAAH! Congratulations!" Goldsberry wrote in the comments, clearly thinking Benanti had just shared the news that she is pregnant.

Goldsberry's gaffe then went viral on Twitter, with user @sheevasmells posting a screenshot of the correspondence underneath Benanti's post, coupled with the caption "not enough people on my timeline acknowledging this."

By Tuesday, the tweet had made its way to Goldsberry's timeline, prompting an explainer as to why she was congratulating her friend on catching COVID-19.

"Drunk scrolling on my birthday... Wrong positive test," Goldsberry admitted before sharing her love for Benanti and telling her to "Feel better!"

As of Tuesday afternoon, Goldsberry's comment on Benanti's post was still up and had 429 likes.

After sharing the results of her COVID test, Benanti assured her followers that she had tested negative before she went to the New York City Ballet to see The Nutcracker with her family the day before. She said she wore a mask the entire time, "so everyone is safe, don't worry!"
