MANILA, Philippines – The Philippines’ Pia Wurtzbach was crowned Miss Universe 2015, and many social media users, including international celebrities, were talking about it.
This the first time that the Philippines has held the crown since 1973. And there was a mix-up with the announcement as well.
Host Steve Harvey misread the winner’s announcement card and first said that Colombia had won the crown. He then apologized, corrected himself, and said that the Philippines had won.
Steve has since apologized for the incident on social media too, and the Miss Universe Organization has released their own apology.
Let’s see what the celebrities thought of Miss Universe 2015.
Sofia Vergara, who hails from Colombia herself, posted this photo of Ariadna after the incident.
Justin Bieber reposted this photo in reference to his single, “Sorry.”
Kevin Olusola retweeted the same photo.

Keegan Allen wished that Pia had shared the tiara with Miss Colombia instead.
I actually wish Ms. Philippines would have cracked the tiara in half and shared it with ms. Columbia to show that nothing really matters

Josh Groban had this to say about the announcement mix-up.
Look, that #MissUniverse2015 ending was awkward as hell. But happy for the Philippines and second place is still for the WHOLE UNIVERSE.
