Singer Chloe Bailey says she cried after accidentally eating meat for the first time in 10 years.
The vegan singer and her sister Halle, who starred as Ariel in The Little Mermaid, cut meat from their diets a decade ago.
However, over the weekend, the pair accidentally ate beef after a hotel messed up their order.
"So I called to get a Beyond burger for sis and I like usual. Specified that it’s vegan, no butter on the bun, nothing like that," Chloe explained in a TikTok video.

The 25-year-old was in the shower when the food arrived and when she came back out her sister was already eating the burger.
"She’s eating the burger and she’s like, 'Are you sure this is Beyond?' She took a couple of bites and she said, 'This is really good, you sure it’s Beyond?'," she explained in the video.
She continued: "I touched the patty and smelled it and was like, 'Of course, it’s Beyond, yeah'."
Then she took a bite of the burger and immediately knew there had been a mistake.
"So I finish getting dressed, I take a bite and the juice dripping from the burger is not like a Beyond burger. I just knew it was not a fake burger," she said.
"The one bite I took and I just knew. Immediately I said, 'This doesn’t feel right'."
She called the hotel reception and discovered there had been a miscommunication.
"I said, 'Ugh, these are vegan burgers right?' He said, 'No, they’re brand burgers'. I said, 'Brand burgers? I said Beyond burgers'. I don’t even know what a brand burger is."
She continued: "Immediately I’m losing my sh*t. I gobbled down a whole can of Sprite."
The 'Told Ya' singer said she started crying and her sister laughed at her.
"Halle’s laughing at me because I’m crying. This is right before the concert yesterday. I’m crying, Halle’s just laughing so hard at me because I’m freaking out," she explained.
The sisters were in Atlanta to see Beyonce in concert. The 'Single Ladies' singer discovered the sisters in 2015, when they were just 15 and 13 years old, after they sang a cover of 'Pretty Hurts'.
After the cover went viral on YouTube, Beyonce signed the siblings to her label Parkwood Entertainment.
The sisters became vegan after their mum decided to try being vegetarian for a week.
“Being vegan started from our mother. One day she was like, ‘I’m gonna try to be vegetarian for a week. You can join me if you’d like'. We started the week with her and just never went back," Halle told Complex in 2017.
The sisters credit their veganism for helping keep their voices in shape.
“Number one secret to keeping our voices in shape? God. Two, we’re vegan, so we’re not consuming dairy and it’s not that extra mucus buildup all the time," Chloe told Complex.
She continued: "We hydrate a lot more before performances. We were really on a roll of drinking gallon jugs of water, and that made us feel better mentally and physically.”
