Kendall Jenner 2014 Billboard Music Awards Fail: Almost Calls 5 Seconds Of Summer, One Direction

Kendall Jenner suffered an embarrassing moment at the Billboard Music Awards when she flubbed her lines while introducing 5 Seconds of Summer (5SOS).

Kendall Jenner Mixed Up One Direction And 5SOS

The model and young reality star was on hand at the awards show, and was presenting the band by herself. What started out as a fine introduction became awkward when Jenner got confused and almost introduced the band as One Direction.

“And now we welcome, one –“ Jenner said, before stopping, realizing her mistake.

It seems that by the time she collected herself either the teleprompter had already moved on to her next line, or she had trouble reading the name of the band on the screen, as she never actually said their name.

“I’m the worst reader,” Jenner said, laughing, before finishing her introduction.

Perhaps a reason for the slip was her previous line: “The band about to rock the Billboard Awards is from down under, but the direction they’re headed is straight up.”

Either way, the flub is understandable, especially considering 5SOS opened for One Direction for the boy band’s 2013 and 2014 tours. 5SOS have remained silent on the matter, and had nothing but good things to say about their first Billboard Music Awards experience.
